Hindustan Zinc Partners with Tata Steel to Boost Low-Carbon Steel Production
New Delhi, March 23 — Hindustan Zinc Ltd on Monday announced a strategic partnership with Tata Steel to expand the use of its low-carbon zinc solution, EcoZen, in steel manufacturing.The collaboration underscores both companies’ commitment to integrating climate-focused strategies into their core operations and supply chains.
EcoZen: A Low-Carbon Zinc Solution for Sustainable Manufacturing
In a regulatory filing with the BSE, Hindustan Zinc said the partnership will deepen the integration of EcoZen into sustainable steel production.EcoZen is manufactured using renewable energy and has a verified carbon footprint of less than one tonne of CO₂ equivalent per tonne of zinc—approximately 75% lower than the global industry average.
This makes it a key innovation for reducing emissions at the raw material stage of steel production.
Partnership Aims to Accelerate Decarbonization Goals
By lowering emissions early in the value chain, EcoZen enables downstream industries to significantly cut their overall carbon footprint and advance decarbonization targets.“Our partnership with Tata Steel is a significant milestone in scaling up the adoption of low-carbon zinc and reinforcing greener supply chains across India’s industrial ecosystem,” said Arun Misra.
Zinc’s Role in Sustainable Steel and Key Industries
Zinc is essential in the galvanization process, where it is used to coat steel and protect it from corrosion, thereby extending its lifespan.This makes zinc a critical material across multiple sectors, including infrastructure, automotive, renewable energy, electronics, and energy storage.
Strengthening Green Supply Chains in India
The partnership between Hindustan Zinc Ltd and Tata Steel is expected to strengthen green supply chains and promote the adoption of sustainable materials in India’s industrial ecosystem.As industries increasingly prioritise sustainability, collaborations like this are set to play a crucial role in reducing carbon emissions and supporting India’s long-term climate goals.
