Renewable Power Initiatives at Calibre Chemicals
At Calibre Chemicals, we are committed to sustainable practices, with renewable power contributing significantly to our total energy consumption strategy. Currently, renewable sources account for 30% of our total power consumption, amounting to over 120 lakh power units annually.
To achieve this milestone, Calibre Chemicals has invested in its renewable energy infrastructure, including:
- Own Windmills: We operate two 0.8 MW windmills, harnessing wind energy to power our operations sustainably.
- Hybrid Renewable Power Source: Additionally, we have secured a tie-up for 2.8 MW of hybrid renewable power, combining wind and solar energy sources. This hybrid approach ensures a stable and diversified renewable energy supply, further enhancing our commitment to environmental stewardship.
These initiatives underscore Calibre Chemicals’ proactive approach towards reducing carbon footprint and promoting sustainable development in the chemical manufacturing sector. By integrating renewable energy into our operations, we contribute to cleaner energy consumption while maintaining operational efficiency and reliability.
Environmentally Friendly Disposal of Solid Waste at Calibre Chemicals
Calibre Chemicals is dedicated to sustainable practices, including the environmentally friendly disposal of solid waste used either as raw material or fuel at cement industries. Annually, we dispose of approximately 2000 metric tons (MT) of waste in an environmentally responsible manner through utilization in cement industries.
Key aspects of our waste disposal strategy include:
- Utilization as Raw Material: Certain solid wastes generated in our manufacturing processes are utilized as raw material inputs in cement production. This approach not only reduces waste but also contributes to resource efficiency in the cement manufacturing sector.
- Utilization as Fuel: Other types of solid waste are utilized as alternative fuels in cement kilns. This practice supports the reduction of fossil fuel consumption and associated greenhouse gas emissions, aligning with our commitment to environmental stewardship.
- Environmental Compliance: Calibre Chemicals ensures that all disposal practices comply with stringent environmental regulations and standards. We collaborate closely with cement industry partners to ensure the safe and effective utilization of our waste materials.
These initiatives reflect Calibre Chemicals’ proactive efforts to minimize environmental impact through sustainable waste management practices. By promoting circular economy principles and resource efficiency, we contribute to a greener and more sustainable future for the chemical manufacturing industry.
Tree Plantation Initiative by Calibre Chemicals
Calibre Chemicals is committed to environmental stewardship and community engagement, exemplified by our recent tree plantation initiative. Recognizing the importance of environmental sustainability, we undertook a significant tree plantation drive, planting a total of 7500 trees in the nearby surroundings of our operations.
Key details of our tree plantation initiative include:
- Objective: The primary goal of this initiative was to contribute to local biodiversity conservation, enhance green cover, and mitigate carbon emissions in the region.
- Location: The tree plantation drive was conducted near our operational facilities, ensuring maximum environmental impact and community benefit.
- Species Selection: Careful consideration was given to the selection of tree species, focusing on native varieties that are well-suited to the local climate and ecosystem. This approach promotes ecological balance and supports local flora and fauna.
- Partnership and Collaboration: Calibre Chemicals collaborated with local forestry departments, environmental NGOs, and community stakeholders to facilitate the successful execution of the plantation drive. This collaborative effort ensured widespread community participation and long-term sustainability of the planted trees.
- Maintenance and Care: Post-plantation, we have implemented a comprehensive maintenance plan to ensure the health and survival of the planted trees. Regular monitoring, watering, and nurturing activities are being carried out to support their growth and development.
- Community Impact: Beyond environmental benefits, our tree plantation initiative has had a positive social impact by fostering community involvement, raising awareness about environmental conservation, and creating green spaces for public enjoyment.
This tree plantation initiative underscores Calibre Chemicals’ commitment to corporate social responsibility and sustainable development. By investing in environmental initiatives like tree plantation, we aim to contribute positively to the environment, enhance local ecosystems, and create a greener and healthier future for generations to come.
