Low Carbon Power Production – Powering Sustainability
The initiative has resulted in mitigating over 2.8 L t CO2e over the last five years.
VISL’s Value Added Business (VAB) plant at Amona hosts the 65 MW Waste Heat Recovery Power Plant (WHRPP), which is a game changer in terms of fostering sustainability across VISL operations. PP1 Set up in 2006 as a 30 MW power plant, the facility was upgraded to 65MW by 2022.
The WHRPP contributes to cleaner and sustainable operations by capturing heat from blast furnaces and coke oven flue gas, converting it into electricity, it reduces dependence on the grid and strengthens the company’s circular economy efforts. It is also Goa’s only power plant and contributes to the State’s electricity requirements as well. On an average the WHRPP produces 400 million units per year and helps sustainably power the operations of VISL.
