In a statement, the two said that under a newly signed memorandum of understanding, they will focus on reducing blast furnace emissions intensity through the use of biomass and the application of carbon capture and utilization in steel production. 

“The partnership with Tata Steel highlights the importance of collaborations in being able to successfully identify and implement emission reduction technologies in steelmaking, including by developing abatements that can apply to the existing blast furnace process to incrementally reduce its carbon emissions intensity,” said BHP chief commercial officer Vandita Pant.
