Navrattan is putting 250 crore into a green cement plant in Punjab. It is a start, but the article does not say which specific technologies they are using to actually cut the carbon.
Exactly. Green cement is a broad term. Are they talking about alternative fuels in the kiln or a different clinker chemistry? Also, 250 crore is a relatively small initial investment for a full scale plant.
If they are just swapping fuels, the carbon drop is modest. The real win is in the material science. I would like to see the actual projected emissions per ton compared to the industry average.
Interesting to see this in Punjab. I wonder if this is driven by specific state incentives or if they are anticipating new national procurement rules for low carbon materials in public works.
