Tata Steel completes thermal energy storage pilot. Tata Steel has successfully completed one year of operations with a thermal energy storage system at its Jamshedpur Works, developed in partnership with German startup Kraftblock GmbH. The system captures high-temperature waste heat from the sintering process and reuses it to warm process water, reducing fuel consumption and improving productivity. The innovation delivers significant environmental benefits, cutting carbon emissions by 22,000 tons annually. This practical solution demonstrates how energy-intensive steelmaking operations can become more efficient. With successful implementation proven, Tata Steel plans to deploy the technology across multiple furnaces and flaring zones, positioning the company as a leader in sustainable steel production.
