The plan is to gradually convert the (BF) E blast furnace into an electric furnace for melting synthesis gas, changing how iron is produced at the facility, the company said.
The selected furnace will serve as a working test example. It is also a rather large installation: its volume is 649 cubic meters, which makes the result more relevant, the company said.
This step follows a memorandum of understanding signed with Paul Wurth in June 2023 to study decarbonization in pig iron production after the completion of preliminary design. Finally, Tata Steel decided to start a demonstration project.
EASyMelt, or electric synthesis gas smelting technology, is designed to provide greater flexibility in the use of raw materials while reducing emissions during cast iron production.
