By integrating renewable energy into our operations, we decrease our reliance on fossil fuels and contribute to overall decarbonisation efforts. |
Planning for the Future
We are committed to steadily advancing towards achieving our RE 70 targets on a Company-wide scale.
- We plan to have all our plants, Energy Management Systems certified through ISO 50001, an international standard which certifies our commitment towards energy performance and sustainability. Currently 3 of our manufacturing facilities are certified with ISO 50001 Certification.
- We aim to gradually adopt new concepts and technologies which further lead to energy conservation and increased energy efficiency
- We have windmill installations across the states of Maharashtra and Tamil Nadu.
- We have recently commissioned 2100 KW capacity Wind turbine at our Sayakha Plant. With this, our Captive windmill capacity have increased to 8400 KW.
- Commissioning work is in progress for 3000 KW offsite Captive Solar farm in the district of Yavatmal in Maharashtra which shall cater to power requirements at our Lote Plant.
ENERGY CONSUMPTION
At KNPL, progress in energy management is measured through key indicators of specific power consumption, specific fuel consumption and percentage of renewable energy.
| Parameter | FY 24-25 | |
|---|---|---|
| Renewable Sources | ||
| Total Electricity Consumption (A) | 1,04,076 GJ | |
| Total Fuel Consumption (B) | 11,307 GJ | |
| Energy Consumption Through other sources (C) | 1,24,968 GJ | |
| Total Energy Consumption through Renewable Sources (A+B+C) | 2,40,450 GJ | |
| Non-Renewable Sources | ||
| Total Electricity Consumption (D) | 1,72,067 GJ | |
| Total Fuel Consumption (E) | 1,19,357 GJ | |
| Energy Consumption Through other sources (F) | 0 | |
| Total Energy Consumption through Non-Renewable Sources (D+E+F) | 2,91,424 GJ | |
| Total Energy Consumption (A+B+C+D+E+F) | 5,31,874 GJ | |
Energy is also used in the form of steam and heat in our manufacturing processes. Most of the steam and heat requirements are being met through biofuel and biomass based solid fuel boiler.
Specific Power Consumption
|
Method of Calculation:
Specific Power Consumption is ratio of Electricity Consumed (from all sources) at Plants to Total Production of Finished
Goods during Specified Period. Electricity consumption is sum of electricity received from grid (i.e. state electricity board), electricity generated
from DG set and electricity from renewable energy sources at respective manufacturing facilities.
Specific Fuel Consumption
|
METHOD OF CALCULATION- Specific Fuel Consumption is ratio of Fuel Consumption in Boilers at Plants to Total Resin Production during a Specified Period.
Energy Intensity
In FY 2024-25, we consumed 5,31,874 GJ of energy within the Company, with an overall energy intensity of 1.44 GJ/KL of finished goods (FG).
Method of Calculation:
Energy Intensity is ratio of Total energy (Fuel + Power + Heat and Steam) consumed within factory premises organisation-wide (Manufacturing facilities, R&D centre and Head Office) to Total Production of Finished Goods during specified period.
Reduction of energy consumption
At KNPL, we measure our energy management progress using key performance indicators (KPIs), such as specific power consumption, specific fuel consumption, capacity addition of green power, percentage of green power utilisation, power factor controls, fuel mapping and adoption of greener alternatives.
- 45% of Energy consumption is through renewable sources
- Utilised 39% of electricity from Renewable Sources
Diversification of Energy-mix
Wind Capacity augmentation
Commissioned 2100 KW Wind turbine at Sayakha Plant
Total Captive windmill capacity increased to 8400 KW
Solar Capacity Augmentation
Commissioning work in progress for 3000 KW offsite Captive Solar farm in Yavatmal district in Maharashtra
Renewable Energy:
We constantly search for alternate sources to increase our share of green energy and accordingly plan our initiatives based on feasibility and applicability. This, in turn, allows our facilities to be increasingly self-reliant in their energy needs and thereby reduce the carbon footprint.
In FY 24-25, total renewable energy consumed was 2,67,456 GJ, accounting for 49% of our Company’s total energy consumption.
We are committed to steadily advancing towards achieving our RE 70 targets on a Company-wide scale.
