Tata Steel Starts India’s First Coke Oven Gas Injection Project

Key Highlights:

• The project is the first of its kind in India’s steel industry.
• Coke Oven Gas is a hydrogen-rich and hydrocarbon-rich by-product of coke production.
• The gas contains more than 55% hydrogen.
• The project purifies and injects hydrogen-rich gas into blast furnaces through tuyeres.
• It creates a three-fuel operating system.
• The technology can reduce dependence on carbon-based reducing agents.
• It can improve energy efficiency and operational flexibility.
• The project supports Tata Steel’s target of achieving net-zero emissions by 2045.
