JSW Steel Collaborates with BHP on Carbon Capture Technology in Steelmaking

After the project is successfully finished, JSW Steel wants to liquefy the carbon dioxide that was captured and sell it in the area.

SEATTLE (Scrap Monster): A collaboration agreement has been established between JSW Steel and BHP to investigate the application of cutting-edge carbon capture technologies in the steelmaking process. The two businesses will speed up the decarbonization of the steelmaking process by utilizing a modular technology created by UK-based Carbon Clean, with an emphasis on Indian operations.

The firms will, in accordance with the agreement, assess the viability of Carbon Clean's CycloneCC modular technology, which is one of the top carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) systems in the world. Up to 100,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions are intended to be captured annually.

BHP claims that the new initiative is a significant step in the direction of encouraging the expansion of carbon capture. After the collaborative studies are finished in 2026, CycloneCC technology will be implemented for the first time at JSW's steel plant in the Southern Indian state of Karnataka.

After the project is successfully finished, JSW Steel wants to liquefy the carbon dioxide that was captured and sell it in the area. It is important to highlight that the company has already reduced its carbon emissions intensity by 30% when compared to the baseline set in 2005. By 2030, it wants to lower the amount of carbon dioxide produced during the steelmaking process to 1.95 tons per tonne of steel.
