Oyster Renewable Energy and Dalmia Cement are developing a 31.6 MW hybrid solar-wind project in Andhra Pradesh, India. The project involves an investment of INR 270 crore and combines 21.6 MW of wind power with 10 MW of solar capacity to provide a stable energy supply for industrial use. This initiative aims to reduce annual carbon emissions by approximately 70,000 metric tonnes, supporting Dalmia Cement's goal of becoming carbon negative by 2040. The facility is expected to be fully operational by 2027.

Oyster is building a 31.6 MW hybrid site for Dalmia Cement in Andhra Pradesh. It mixes wind and solar to keep the power flow steady for the plant. Should cut about 70k tonnes of CO2 a year.

Hybrid is the right move for industrial loads, but 31.6 MW is a drop in the bucket for a cement plant. I wonder what the actual capacity factor is for this specific site in Kadapa.

The push for carbon negative by 2040 is a bold claim. Without a clear carbon accounting standard for these hybrid offsets, it is hard to verify the actual impact on the balance sheet.

Cement is a nightmare to decarbonize because of the process emissions. Renewables help the power side, but the real challenge is the kiln heat. Still, it is a start.
