Tata Steel has commissioned India’s first Coke Oven Gas (COG) injection project at its Meramandali plant in Odisha.
COG is a hydrogen- and hydrocarbon-rich by-product gas generated during coke production.
The cleaned gas is injected into the blast furnace through tuyeres to partly replace conventional fossil fuels.
Its hydrogen content helps reduce the use of coke and coal and lower carbon dioxide (CO₂) emissions.
It aims to improve resource efficiency, operational flexibility and low-carbon ironmaking.
