Vedanta entity Set up Torrefied -Biomass -Plant in Punjab | Company Business News

Talwandi Sabo Power Ltd (TSPL), a subsidiary of Vedanta Ltd, has erected a biomass manufacturing facility near its 1.980 MW termic plant in Mansa, Punjab. The facility produces afflicted bio-pellets. In a statement, Vedanta said it was Punjab’s largest biomass manufacturing facility. Torbreid Biomass is a high, fixed biofuels made from biomass or agriculturalidu by a thermochemical process. The end product is a biofuels with more energy density than the original feed.

Punjab generates nearly 15-20 million tonnes of crop stop annually. Many of these are traditionally burned in the field, which contributes to serious seasonal air pollution in the Northern India. TSPL will reduce its carbon footprint by using biomass in its fuel mixture. During the Paddy season, TSPL purchased more than 800,000 tonnes of agricultural brew, which converted it to this new facility in approximately 640,000 tonnes of defeated bio-pellets. Furthermore, the company will reduce its daily use of coal by 5% using this carbon neutral alternative. These two roads together, added the statement, may occur nearly 2.6 million tonnes of coes.

Environmental compliance in the thermal power generation, “said Adarse Pal. PUNJAB Publishing Control Council. In addition, TSPL fired 450 tonnes of defeated biomass daily, obtained from open markets and made of crop stops, which according to the company create an ecosystem for farmers to consume their crop stop, rather than burning it and causing air pollution. ‘As one of India’s largest private generators, this initiative is in line with our commitment to support the country’s clean energy card. Despite the early stage challenges, including the availability of technology, infrastructure and limited bio-peaks, our focus on a greener transition never waited.
