Waste Heat Recovery helps reduce fossil fuel based power
generation and lessens our carbon footprint. Taking this concept forward,
Ambuja commissioned a 6.5 MW Waste Heat Recovery (WHR) based
power generation system at the Rajasthan plant in 2015.
The Rajasthan plant project is registered under the Clean Development
Mechanism (CDM) of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate
Change (UNFCCC). It will accrue 35000/ year Certified Emissions Reductions
(CERs) for the next 10 years.
Ambuja’s first global CDM project involved the use of biomass for power
generation at the Ropar plant. It earned 17,727 CERs and generated revenue
of `1.60 Crores in 2011.
