Tata Steel to Supply Zeremis Carbon Lite for Hardt Hyperloop

Tata Steel Europe and Hardt Hyperloop have signed a contract for the delivery of Zeremis Carbon Lite, steel with an allocated carbon footprint reduction of up to 100% at InnoTrans in Berlin. The lower CO2 intensity is independently verified by assurance expert DNV. The purpose of Zeremis Carbon Lite is to accelerate CO2 emission saving projects even faster and we are looking at every possibility, for example the use of bio-coal, green HBI and hydrogen in our current assets. But we will also push the boundaries of scrap usage even further.Steel is the essential material needed to build strong, lightweight tubes for the hyperloop that can withstand an internal low air pressure with sufficient rigidity. Therefore, Tata Steel joined forces with steelmaker POSCO from Korea in 2020 to work on the development of high-quality steel grades customized for this very purpose. The ultimate goal is to achieve a 50% weight reduction compared to a tube with conventional technology. This is done by developing new steel qualities for spirally welded pipes, but also by creating completely new pipe designs. Tata Steel has been supporting Hardt Hyperloop since its first stages. In July 2022, Tata Steel announced the delivery of the first batch of a new steel product tailor-made for the hyperloop. The first tubes that were made using the certified low CO2 steel will now be field tested in the European Hyperloop Center in Groningen, the Netherlands.People are travelling further and more frequently than ever before. At the same time, there is a growing need and awareness to reduce energy consumption and transport emissions. Tata Steel is therefore working in close cooperation with customers and partners to bring new, fast and energy-efficient mobility concepts to life. One of those technologies is Hardt Hyperloop, a high-speed, sustainable transportation system for people and goods
