Energy Management
Effective Energy Management for a Better Tomorrow
Optimising our current energy usage helps us in transitioning towards better solutions and collaborating with our stakeholders from an enterprise sustainability perspective, we have signed for EP 100 campaign (first cement company globally) to generating more economic output per unit of energy consumption. Being an inherently high energy consuming sector, responsible and efficient use of energy is our top priority
We have put into effect our effective energy management strategy to map our commitment of doubling energy productivity by 2030.
Our Strategic Energy Management Approach
We are accelerating our sustainable energy adoption drive by making consistent efforts to reduce our dependency on fossil fuels and better manage energy usage across the production value chain. Our energy productivity, as compared to FY11 baseline, has advanced by 36% (FY25) within 60% time-lapse since the target was taken in 2016.
Our cement manufacturing units follow a Plan-Do-Check-Act based Energy Management System (ISO 50001) for baseline determination, energy management targets, internal and third-party audits, and continual improvement to remain focused on energy management.
Our investments in state-of-the-art technologies in energy efficiency measures include dry kilns, pre-calciners and multi-stage suspension preheaters,and new generation Clinker Coolers, to make energy use more efficient.
Energy Efficiency Measures carried out in FY 25
Upgradation or retrofitting the old generation coolers with best-in-class new generation coolers for reducing the heat consumption,
Nozzle chest replacement for Turbine to increase loading and to use additional available waste heat
latest technology compressor for minimizing power consumption
Installation of Anti Coating Basic Bricks in kiln due to increased usage of Alternate Fuels to improve kiln reliability,
Installation of Trommel to reduce Ash & for improving RW heat value
Focusing on a Carbon Negative Roadmap
At Dalmia Bharat, energy efficiency is a continuous journey and with each innovation and technological solution we are raising the bar not just within the cement sector but also across the nation and globe. In addition, effective energy consumption is directly linked to reducing GHG emissions. By resorting to cleaner and more sustainable methods of producing cement, including energy efficiency and management measures, we are steadily progressing towards meeting our carbon negative goal.
Our cement manufacturing units are covered under the newly launched Carbon Credit Trading Scheme (CCTS) and earlier Perform Achieve and Trade (PAT) scheme of Bureau of Energy Efficiency. We have exceeded the PAT targets while earning the energy saving certificates under the scheme and the proactive approach being followed in CCTS is also expected to deliver the GHG savings resulting into carbon credits
What Is RCF?
RCF stands for Roof, Column, and Foundation and is the core structural system of any building, responsible for overall stability and load-bearing capacity. Therefore, RCF Strong. Toh Ghar Strong.
