Abb And Tata Steel To Look At Technologies To Help Reduce Carbon Footprint Of Steel Production

Tata Steel Ltd and ABB have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) and will collaborate to create innovative models and technologies to help reduce the carbon footprint of steel production.

“Steel companies know there are opportunities to improve their processes, and Tata Steel is one of the leader s in this movement towards energy efficiency and reduction of carbon footprint,” said Vipul Gautam, Group Vice President, Global Account Executive for Tata Group, ABB.

ABB and Tata Steel will focus on system-level assessments of Tata Steel’s manufacturing plants and production facilities for evaluation and co-development of short and long-term options for energy efficiency, decarbonization and circularity.

The two companies will explore energy optimization via hydrogen as an alternative fuel for upstream processes and energy reduction and substitution through fully integrated electrification and digital systems.

Tata Steel has committed to major sustainability targets of carbon neutrality by 2045. The steelmaker has a medium-term target to reduce carbon emissions to under two tons of CO₂ per ton of crude steel in its Indian operations by 2025.

To ensure sustainable growth, the company is working on deployment of key enablers for deep decarbonization, including the use of more scrap in steelmaking , use of alternate fuels, use of renewable energy and deployment of carbon capture and storage/ utilization technolog ies.

Automotive Ford Canada Reaches New Deal With Unifor

Ford Motor Company of Canada and Unifor have come together to reach an agreement on a new three-year labour contract.

Casselman, Ont., and Leduc, Alberta.

ABB and Tata Steel will carry out system-level assessments for manufacturing plants like Tata’s Jamshedpur.

The new agreement covers over 5,600 unionized Unifor members at Ford’s Oakville Assembly Complex; Annex and Essex engine plants in Windsor, Ontario; and part distribution centres in Bramalea, Paris and

“Our bargaining team showed exceptional leadership and successfully pushed Ford of Canada on every front,” said Unifor National President Lana Payne. “This contract will change lives in a profound way. It fundamentally transforms pension plans, provides protections during the EV transition and includes the highest wage increases in the history of Canadian auto bargaining.”

Ratification meetings had Ford union members vote 54 per cent in favour of the new agreement. The agreement offers hourly wage increases, a ratification bonus, retirement programs increases, and reduction of new hire wage progression period.

“We know this is a challenging time for all workers and this agreement tackles the affordability issues so many face today,” said Ford Master Bargaining Chair John D’Agnolo. “I’m so proud of what we’ve accomplished, and that the membership voted for a contract that will set a new standard for autoworkers for years to come.”

Ford was selected as the target company by Unifor for its Detroit Three negotiations. With General Motors Canada selected as the second automaker to negotiate.
