CERTIFIED CARBON REDUCTION

Carbon Lite is completely verified and certified by Det Norske Veritas (DNV)

This enables you to start delivering on your scope 3 reduction targets now. Win an advantage with a differentiating, sustainable product offering.

Whilst the baseline offer for Carbon Lite is a 30% reduction in CO2e intensity against the European average, our flexible solution will enable you to determine your own carbon footprint which is needed to realise your specific emission reduction targets.

Current projects that were verified by DNV:

  1. Installation of a new Coke Oven Gas (COG) holder
  2. Replacement of the motor gear sets in the cold mill
  3. Improved gas recovery from the Basic Oxygen Steel (BOS) plant
  4. Implementation of a Regenerative Thermal Oxidation system at Maubeuge

More CO2e saving project will follow as we work with our customers who want to take climate action now.

Certified carbon reduction

Recent CO2 savings realised by Tata Steel Nederland are certified by an independent assurance expert and compiled in our central carbon bank.

Carbon Lite draws on credits from this bank in the form of declarations. These declarations allow you to meet your carbon reduction targets. The purpose of Zeremis Carbon Lite is to accelerate CO2e emission saving projects even faster and we are looking at every possibility, for example the use of bio-coal, green HBI and hydrogen in our current assets. But we will also push the boundaries of scrap usage even further.

It’s our ambition to reduce CO2e emissions by 500 kilotonnes before Tata Steel Nederland commissions its first Direct Reduced Iron (DRI) installation. This will enable us to supply a minimum of 200 kilotonnes of CO2e-neutral equivalent steel on an annual basis.
