Renewable energy is becoming a part of the solution to various challenges that the natural resources industry is facing today. It is enabling companies to reduce emissions, be more cost competitive and have greater energy supply reliability and consistency.
Hindustan Zinc has been ahead of the curve in realising the advantages of renewable sources of energy to power operations. Nine years back, we put up 274 MW of wind power when nobody was talking about it. Today, we are generating wind-based power from our plants in Gujarat, Karnataka, Rajasthan, Tamil Nadu and Maharashtra. These projects are registered under Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) programme by the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC).
We are looking at increasing alternative in the total energy mix to reduce our carbon footprint, be more environment-friendly and cost competitive.
