We’re proud to be leading the way in the decarbonisation of the industry. Tata Steel UK is among the first steelmakers in Europe to make the transition to low emission steel. The £1.25 million investment in EAF steelmaking is not only a landmark change for our business, it’s the biggest development the UK steel industry has seen for many decades.

The move to EAF steelmaking will reduce our Scope 1 emissions by 90% and halve the carbon footprint of our products. The enhancements we are making to our existing assets will make our processes more efficient, reliable and sustainable. You can read more about the overall project here.

The impact goes far beyond our own operations. By decarbonising our steel production, we are driving CO2 reductions across the entire supply chain, helping our customers meet their Scope 3 emissions targets and move towards a more sustainable future. We will be supplying them with low emission steel in the grades they need, and developing and delivering the high-quality steels they demand.

In our conversations with customers, we have received positive support for our commitment and capability as we make decarbonising steel a reality. Many have urged us to keep them informed and to share our enthusiasm and confidence as we shape a more sustainable industrial future for the UK.

So, here’s The Spark, our way of communicating our exciting journey. You will see it on social media, presentations, and on its own webpage www.tatasteeluk.com/spark, and you can get your first glimpse of it in our hospitality area at the UK Metals Expo this week.
