Jamshedpur: Tata Steel has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with University of Science and Technology Beijing (USTB) to collaborate on the development of low-carbon steelmaking technologies.
As part of the MoU, signed on Monday in Beijing, research teams from Tata Steel, Tata Steel Research and Innovation Limited and USTB will jointly undertake research across four broad themes addressing low-carbon steelmaking: scrap-based steelmaking, steel waste valorisation, end-product performance, and carbon capture and utilisation technologies, the company said in a statement on Tuesday.
The collaboration will leverage USTB's academic expertise along with its experimental and pilot-scale facilities, enabling promising technologies to be tested, piloted and potentially scaled up for industrial application.
Commenting on the partnership, Subodh Pandey, Vice President - Technology, R&D, NMB and Graphene, Tata Steel, said, "Low carbon steelmaking and associated product development for our customers is the need of the hour. At Tata Steel, we are actively driving the global transition to low-carbon steelmaking, and innovation is at the core of this journey.
"Through our collaboration with USTB, we aim to unlock potential ideas and co‑create technologies that will advance our sustainability goals and contribute to a cleaner, more efficient future for the steel industry."
Prof Shuqiang Jiao, Vice President of USTB, said, "USTB and Tata Steel have maintained a long-standing partnership built on years of productive collaboration. This new initiative further strengthens their close ties and shared commitment to innovation. By combining USTB's expertise in metallurgy and materials science with Tata Steel's industrial strengths, the two sides will accelerate the engineering validation and industrial application of research outcomes."
