| CARBON SMART... OUR ASPIRATION |  |
 |
| EC2 Being in the business of cement manufacturing, climate change mitigation and footprint conscious growth has always been integral to our Sustainability strategy. Being Carbon Smart is our aspiration. Company’s focus among others is on low carbon growth, use of alternative fuel, renewable energy, bio-mass etc. Continuing our participation in the Global Programme of Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) we are currently pursuing two CDM projects on Smokeless Chulha in Community around our plants & Waste Heat Recovery. We continue to focus on developing our renewable energy portfolio in line with Renewable & Clean Energy Roadmap till 2020. We have installed and commissioned 330 KW of Solar energy at Bhatapara, Chhattisgarh this year, in addition to the existing 7.5 MW of Wind energy at Kutch, |
Gujarat commissioned in 2011, a 6.5
MW waste heat recovery based power
generation system is being installed
which is expected to be operational
by 2013. We are currently monitoring
and reporting CO2 emissions as per the
WBCSD Cement Sustainability Initiative
(CSI) protocol. We have meticulously estimated our carbon footprint that included our all operations, bulk cement terminals, shipping activity, offices as well as offsets due to our plantation initiatives for the year 2010. This was verified independently by a third party in accordance to the international standard ISO 14064:2006. Furthermore, we have drawn out a Roadmap to embark upon a low carbon growth path for the future. India Cement Technology Roadmap-WBCSD CSI ACL is fully committed for partnering global efforts to reduce Green House Gases emissions and mitigating the impacts of |
climate change. A testimony
of this is the clean technology roadmap
under the aegis of CSI of WBCSD in
which Ambuja cement participated very
actively. This provides technological
option for improvement under five levers
that can contribute to emission reduction:
1. Alternative fuel and raw materials (AFR) 2. Thermal and electrical energy efficiency 3. Clinker substitution 4. Waste heat recovery (WHR) and 5. Newer technologies The Low Carbon Technology Roadmap report has been released in December. Carbon Disclosure Project,
