FOSSIL-FREE, RENEWABLE ENERGY
Investments
- Due investments to use Renewable Energy through PPAs with appropriate energy partners:
- Careful selection of equipment to meet energy efficiency & emission norms.
- Continuous monitoring and reviews for improvements / upgrades
Fossil Free Approach
| SL. NO. | Activity Implemented | Annual Saving | Project Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Usage of Tetra for mould releasing agent | 100 kilo kg of CO2 | Implemented |
| 2 | LPG for Tundish heating | 64 Kilo Kg of CO2 | Implemented |
| 3 | Electric heater for ladle heating | 150 kilo KG of CO2 | Implemented |
| 4 | Usage of Electric forklifts | 93 Kilo Kg of CO2 | In progress |
| 5 | Elimination of Pig Iron | 5.5 Million Kg of CO2 | Implemented |
WATER RECYCLING & CONSERVATION
Infrastructure
- Mandate of Rainwater Harvesting – Current harvest ~78%
- 2 large ponds with 27 million litres storage built.
- New tank with 7 million litres storage being built.
- > 50% of plant requirements met from rainwater stored.
- Water neutral by 2030
REDUCE, REUSE, RECYCLE – SAND
- > 97% of sand reclaimed
- Core sand reclamation about 80 MT / Month
- Sand dust conversion to paver blocks – all internal pathways made through such conversions.
- Organic binders used to achieve ZERO soil contamination.
REDUCE, REUSE, RECYCLE – METAL
- Internal / external machining scrap remelted
- Metal scrap from stamping units utilized
- Optimization of alloying elements
