Veolia Carbon Clean announces carbon capture milestone

The Veolia Carbon Clean joint venture is celebrating its first carbon capture project milestone in India and unveils a new corporate identity.

Veolia Carbon Clean - a joint venture between Carbon Clean, a company specialising in cost-effective carbon capture solutions, and Veolia, a major player in optimised resource management - is celebrating its first project milestone and revealing a new corporate identity. 

The joint venture is committed to reducing industrial carbon dioxide emissions and helping India achieve its climate goals through the development of a series of carbon capture and compressed biogas (CBG) projects.

The joint venture's first project milestone is a two-year contract with Tata Steel for the operation and maintenance of the first carbon capture plant for a blast furnace in India. The Jamshedpur steel plant is capturing 5 tonnes of CO2 per day directly from the blast furnace gas and making it available for onsite reuse in a variety of applications. The depleted CO2 gas is then sent back to the gas network with an increased calorific value.

"Carbon Clean is a global leader in carbon capture technology and has extensive experience in supporting companies to achieve net zero targets. Veolia has been working towards changing patterns of production and consumption by placing ecology at the heart of every process and assessment. Through this partnership we are building a model that will support our industrial partners to accelerate their transition to a low carbon economy".
