Tata Steel Europe to develop largest CO2 capture installation in the world
 
Tata Steel Europe has launched plans for a project to capture CO2 from its blast furnaces in IJmuiden, Netherlands, and transport it for storage in empty gas fields under the North Sea. The project would lead to a 30% reduction of CO2 from the steelmaking site. This project is part of Tata Steel Europe’s broader sustainability strategy to be CO2 neutral by 2050. The capture and storage of CO2 could make a significant contribution to this in a relatively short timeframe.

The 14th edition of Tata Volunteering Week (TVW) a huge success!
 
Conducted amid the pandemic, the 14th edition of the Tata Volunteering Week was quite unique. The programme, which normally sees a lot of group activities and large-scale events had to be pivoted to adjust to the requirements posed by COVID-19. Therefore, we asked our volunteers to “Work from Heart” while being at home – a play on “WFH” which is among one of the most used acronyms over the past six months! 35 companies of the Tata group conducted more than 2,500 volunteering activities across 75+ cities, to support 250+ partners. View this report to get a few glimpses of TVW14.
