In a notable achievement towards sustainable development, Vedanta group firm Hindustan Zinc Ltd. has announced a significant reduction in its greenhouse gas (GHG) emission intensity. Over the past four years, the company has achieved a 14% decrease in GHG emission intensity, a milestone attributed to its strategic integration of renewable energy and enhanced operational efficiency.
Hindustan Zinc emphasized the use of advanced technology to achieve this reduction. Compared to the base year of 2020, the company has successfully lowered its emission intensity while simultaneously increasing its production each year. This dual accomplishment underscores Hindustan Zinc’s commitment to balancing industrial growth with environmental stewardship.
A cornerstone of the company’s sustainability strategy is its Pantnagar Metal Plant, which now operates entirely on green power. Additionally, Hindustan Zinc has entered into a 450 MW renewable power delivery agreement. This initiative is expected to mitigate approximately 2.7 million tons of CO2 emissions annually, further solidifying the company’s dedication to reducing its carbon footprint.
These initiatives reflect Hindustan Zinc’s commitment to sustainable practices for environmental betterment.
