Controlling Emissions Through Advanced Systems
Our approach to air quality management is built on advanced emission control technologies and continuous monitoring systems, ensuring compliance while maintaining efficient baseload generation.
- At Talwandi Sabo Thermal Plant, Punjab, Hybrid ESP FF technology removes 99.9% particulate emissions.
- Continuous Emissions Monitoring Systems (CEMS) linked to regulatory authorities.
- Low-NOx burners and emission control systems installed in plants.
- 5% biomass co-firing aligned with environmental compliance.
- GHG intensity reduction aligned with low-carbon transition goals.
Minimising Freshwater Dependency
Water stewardship is a critical focus area, with operations designed to reduce freshwater consumption and improve recycling efficiencies across asset locations.
- 100% saline water usage at Meenakshi Energy Limited, Andhra Pradesh , eliminating freshwater dependency.
- Driving low water consumption intensity across operations through efficient use per unit of power generated.
- Closed-cycle cooling systems and water reuse practices.
- Rainwater harvesting structures towards water conservation.
- Zero Liquid Discharge management aligned with regulatory standards.
- Target of Net Water positivity by 2030.
Driving Circular Use of
By-products
Vedanta Power follows a circular approach to waste management, ensuring that by-products from thermal generation are efficiently reused across industries.
