HeidelbergCement India has commissioned a state-of-the-art facility to substitute part of the fossil fuels with alternate fuels (AF) in cement production. The recently commissioned AF receiving, storage and feeding system built at Narsingarh Clinker Unit with an investment of approximately Rs 160 million, will enable the company to achieve a thermal substitution rate (TSR) of approximately five percent in Phase-I and the same will be ramped up gradually to attain double digit TSR in the coming years.
Aligned to the global vision of HeidelbergCement Group, this project will reduce the carbon footprint by reducing consumption of conventional fossil fuels and increasing usage of alternate fuels. This milestone achievement will reduce CO2 emissions by around 42,000 tpa.
