BUSINESS RESPONSIBILITY & SUSTAINABILITY REPORT
8. 9. Does the entity have any project related to reducing Green House Gas emission? If Yes, then provide details.
The main sources of the Company’s direct (Scope 1) Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions are the fuels used
in our operations, such as natural gas usage and SF6 losses during production processes and gas handling
on site. Indirect (Scope 2) GHG emissions from purchased electricity. The Company recognizes the need to
limit global warming to no more than 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels, in order to avoid the worst affects
of climate change. As such, our ambition is to become carbon neutral in our own operations by 2030 and
achieve Net Zero across the entire value chain by 2050. To achieve this, we have implemented several projects
and initiatives which include: Solar roof top installations at Maneja where 932 kW and Doddaballapur where
600 kW were commissioned. Mysore facility has Power Purchase Agreements which caters to nearly 90%
of its electricity requirement. The remaining carbon from grid electricity is offset by purchasing International
Renewable Energy Certificates (IREC). Going forward the Company will focus on more direct, and potentially
value adding methods such as green tariffs, Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) and own generation to meet
its renewable electricity targets.
At project site, solar roof top installations are used to power offices at Adani HVDC project and 6 GPQS sites
totaling 47.7 kW capacity. 6 sets solar based mobile charging facility with 3 lights and 2 USB installed in rest
sheds and worker colony and 7 CNG vehicles are used at HVDC site.
Energy conservation activities include replacing conventional lamps with LED, installation of solar lights,
electrical retrofits such as replacement of old drives and compressors with energy efficient equipment; process
improvements such as optimizing operations of HVAC and AHUs and thermal insulation of hotlines to prevent
heat loss. At Maneja, energy monitoring systems were installed to monitor energy consumption patterns and
take appropriate actions. 7 nos. of HT/LT substations and 53 Energy meter are connected to the monitoring
system. At Halo and Maneja, LPG was replaced by low carbon PNG while Mysore uses biofuel such as paddy
husk and waste dust from own operations to fuel its boilers. Replacing old R22 based HVAC systems to high
COP R410A at Maneja has also resulted in reduction in carbon emissions.
