In a statement, Tata said that as part of the plan, called Roadmap+, it will invest EUR150 million in the facility to cut emissions. The project will reduce output of nitrogen oxides and heavy metal particulates by more than 90%, the company said.  

It also will invest EUR50 million in improvements to the No. 2 Coke and Gas Plant 2, helping to decrease odors and dust. 

“Tata Steel is taking additional action to build on its Roadmap 2030 plan with the announcement today of Roadmap+, which will enhance the environment in and around the IJmuiden plant. We are absolutely committed to sustainability as a strategic priority across the company, of which these measures are the latest example,” said Henrik Adam, chief executive of Tata Steel in Europe.
