Tata Steel Nederland applies for updated nature permit for IJmuiden green steel
Tata Steel Nederland has applied to the North Holland North Environmental Service for an updated nature permit covering its IJmuiden steel production site. The update is driven by Dutch nitrogen rule changes and a 2024 case-law ruling tightening nitrogen-offset requirements retroactive to 2020. The permit supports its green steel project, including a DeNOx installation cutting pellet-plant nitrogen emissions by 80% alongside dedusting, with investments over €200 million, and further environmental and water permits for full commissioning.
