Climate Change

Ambuja Cements is making significant strides in reducing its carbon footprint by investing in renewable energy and minimizing dependence on fossil fuel-based electricity. Backed by a ₹100 billion investment, we are expanding our green energy portfolio with a strong focus on solar power, wind energy, and Waste Heat Recovery Systems (WHRS)

Adani Cement and Coolbrook have entered into an agreement to deploy world’s first commercial RotoDynamic Heater to advance cement decarbonization.

Ambuja Cements Limited is exploring Carbon Capture, Usage and Storage (CCUS) as a key innovation to decarbonise cement manufacturing. Ambuja is selected for the first Indo-Swedish CCU pilot in the Global cement sector. The project is sponsored by Department of Science and Technology - India and Swedish Energy Agency - Sweden under Industry Transition Partnership programme.

Ambuja Cements Limited uses advanced co-processing technology to use alternate fuels and achieve a Thermal Substitution Rate (TSR) of 23% by 2030.

The Company has set a target to improve share of less carbon intensive modes of transportation like sea logistics and rail transportation. To further reduce emissions, Ambuja Cements is using AI to optimise delivery routes, aiming to cut lead distances by 100 km. The company has also introduced electric vehicles (EVs) including dumpers, loaders, and bikes.

Ambuja Cements Limited leads in producing blended cement with reduced clinker content, promoting sustainability and durability by incorporating fly ash, slag, and other supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs)

The Company is member of the international and national organizations like Global Cement and Concrete Association (GCCA), United Nations Global Compact (UNGC), Confederation of Indian Industry (CII), Alliance for Industry Decarbonization (AFID), Leadership for Industry Transition (LeadIT), Task Force on Nature Based Financial Disclosures (TNFD), World Economic Forum’s (WEF’s) Transitioning Industrial Clusters and other global and national platforms.

Our Climate Risk Management strategy is designed to anticipate and respond to both the dimensions – risks as well as opportunities, keeping us agile and future ready. We have conducted a comprehensive Climate Risk Assessment (physical as well as transition risks) as well as assessment of opportunities, aligned with the globally recognized frameworks - Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) and the IFRS S2 standards.
