This move is a significant part of Vedanta's ongoing journey towards achieving Net Zero emissions by 2050. The expedition contains two main strategies – one is increasing renewable energy usage and the other is creating carbon sinks through extensive afforestation.
Natural gas supply from GAIL is primarily destined for Vedanta's upcoming 430-kilo tonnes per annum (KTPA) cast house, designed to produce 250 KTPA of billets and 180 KTPA of other value-added products. With natural gas as a primary energy source, the new cast house will expectedly operate with 62 per cent reduced carbon emissions in a month, aligned with Vedanta's broad sustainability goals.
As per the terms signed, GAIL will supply about 32,000 standard cubic metres (SCM) of natural gas per day to Vedanta through a dedicated 7.5 km pipeline for the next five years upon the commissioning of cast house operations and pipeline.
