TCE aspires to be the world’s lowest carbon
footprint sodium bicarbonate producers

From 2021, Tata Chemicals Europe will be making one of the lowest
carbon footprint sodium bicarbonate and sodium carbonate
products in the world by investing in a carbon capture and utilisation
(CCU) technology.
The CCU plant will capture CO2 from the flue gases emitted from its
combined heat and power plant (CHP) and transform it into a key raw
material for manufacturing sodium bicarbonate, thereby reducing
emissions. It will be capable of capturing up to 40,000 tonnes per
year of CO2 i.e. ~10% of TCE’s carbon emissions at the CHP plant. It
will support the annual manufacture of over 120,000 tonnes of high
purity sodium bicarbonate used in haemodialysis, pharmaceuticals,
food, animal feed and many other applications.
The project could pave the way for other industrial applications of
CO2 capture and is an important step in decarbonising industrial
activity. The TCE CCU plant will play a major role in supporting
the Government’s recently announced target of net zero carbon
emissions by 2050.

Our revenue growth will see
good trajectory as we keep
commissioning our capex
projects.
We would also continue
our journey on the path of
pioneering and providing
thought leadership through
introducing first-in-the-market
products and services that
provide unique solutions
and value to our customers.
Introduction of sodium
bicarbonate brands addressing
targeted segments, online
ChemConnect to the second-
tier customers, instant channel
finance through ChemConnect,
bulk supplies, introduction
bulkers etc. are steps towards
this journey
