Study Notes
Sustainability in Supply Chain
- Tata Steel is focused on sustainability in its supply chain.
- They measure & govern end-to-end Scope 3 CO2 emissions.
- Shipping measurement validation is used.
- Electric vehicles and LNG/CNG vehicles are deployed.
- Alternate fuels in shipping are used.
- Processing centers and stockyards focus on environmental factors.
- Rainwater harvesting and 2.5 MW solar power are used.
- Reusable metal pallets are used in packaging.
- Initiatives are in addition to operational efficiency measures to reduce CO2:
- alternate coastal movement
- enhanced rail coefficient
- route rationalization
- idle freight optimization
Net Zero
- Tata Steel aims to be net-neutral in carbon emissions by 2045.
- TSL standalone emissions (Scope 1+2+3) intensity (without NINL) for FY23 is 2.38 tCO2e/tcs (includes slag credit).
- Aim to achieve emissions intensity < 2 tCO2e/tcs by 2025 and < 1.8 tCO2/tcs by 2030.
Types of Emissions
- Emissions are categorized into Scope 1 (direct), Scope 2 (indirect), and Scope 3 (indirect).
- Scope 1 includes emissions from company facilities and company vehicles.
- Scope 2 includes emissions from purchased electricity, steam, heating, and cooling.
- Scope 3 includes emissions from transportation, processing of sold products, and end-of-life treatment of sold products.
Scope 3 GHG Emissions
- Upstream transportation of raw materials
- Downstream transportation of finished products
- Sale of premium products
Actual CO2 Emissions (MnT)
- Data for Scope 3 emissions (upstream and downstream) for FY22 and FY23, broken down into various categories like transportation, treatment of goods, use of goods, etc. Includes figures.
Rail Road CO2 Calculation Assumptions
- Tata Steel calculation uses a thumb-rule formula based on the globally accepted GHG transportation protocols.
- For every 1 Million tonnes-km of rail distance, the CO2 equivalent emission is 17 tonnes.
- For every 1 Million tonnes-km of road distance, the CO2 equivalent emission is 204 tonnes.
Operational Efficiency Measures
- Idle freight reduction
- Suboptimal reduction
- Increasing greener logistics (Sea-Rail-Road)
- Hiring efficient greener fleets (electric vehicles, CNG/LNG)
- Efficient vessel class deployment in shipping
- Shifting to Greener Operations (alternate fuels, solarization)
- Vendor engagement and responsible supply chain policy.
Upcoming Projects
- Slurry pipelines to transport iron ore slurry between locations.
- Rail infrastructure (connectivity, intra-plant facilities).
- Augmentation of RMHS for handling facilities.
- Augmentation of transport parks and plant road logistics infrastructure.
Sustainability Initiatives
- Tata Steel is pioneering the use of electric vehicles for steel transportation.
- Solar panel installations are being implemented in stockyards.
- Transitioning to greener alternative fuels (LNG) in transportation.
- Maximizing polymer saddle use at stockyards.
- Ramp up of coastal dispatches.
Ongoing Digital Initiatives
- Transport Management System (multi-asset, multi-mode planning).
- Integration with FOIS (Indian Railway Central system).
- Centralized platform for end-to-end material flow monitoring.
Overview of Discharge Ports
- Data on Haldia, Dhamra Port, Paradip Port
- TSL's usage & key advantages (for each port)
- Port usage during potential crisis scenarios
Coastal Movement
- Current and planned coastal routes for transportation.
- Benefits (low GHG emissions, easy handling of coils, alternative supply chains).
- Focus on Subarnarekha Port, cargo containers transportation.
Shipment of TMT Bars
- Details on using inland waterways for shipments of TMT bars.
- Trial shipments from Haldia to other locations (e.g., Agartala).
- Data on quantities, distances, and routes used.
Sustainable Firsts - FY24/FY25
- Achievements in sustainability initiatives by Tata Steel
- List of specific initiatives/projects.
- Specific milestones like reports, plant set-ups, etc.
