NCL to install Solar Pumps in 33 Gaushala of Singrauli
In a significant step towards sustainable development under CSR initiatives, NCL signed an MoU for the installation of Solar Pumps in 33 Nos. of Gaushala Established under Mukhyamantri Gau Sewa Yojna in Singrauli amounting to Rupees more than Sixty Lakh on Tuesday.
The MoU signed was between Shri V K Singh, Area General Manager, Dudhichua Area, and Shri Gajendra Singh Nagesh, Chief Executive Officer, Zila Panchayat Singrauli (MP). This initiative will provide uninterrupted water supply even without electricity in these Gaushalas.
Notably, these Gaushalas will act as a central point for many environmental preservation activities, including generating and establishing biogas plants, Jeevamrut formulation, testing beds for organic farming and nutrition gardens, etc.

We are excited to make the first step in our bio-based insulation journey with the launch of HemKor, our first bio-based insulation product, largely made of hemp.
As a company, we are on a journey to provide our customers with lower embodied carbon insulation solutions. Our focus is on reducing the embodied carbon in our existing flagship products through our LEC range and introducing new bio-based insulation products that offer lower embodied carbon solutions in specific applications.
HemKor represents a significant step forward in our strategy to combine advanced material science, bio-based products and product innovations to help reduce embodied carbon emissions in buildings. Offering a full spectrum of insulation solutions that can meet the challenging requirements faced by the 21st-century built environment is core to our strategy.
The materials and construction phase of buildings is responsible for 11% of all global energy-related carbon emissions. These emissions are known as embodied carbon. Reducing emissions in the built environment is critical to limiting warming to 1.5 ºC by 2050, as laid out by the IPCC.

Today, we had the opportunity to visit the cutting-edge integrated Waste-to-Energy (WTE) plant of ALR Energy. This impressive facility, established through collaboration with international technology providers, is a testament to innovation in sustainable energy.
Secured from the Pimpri Chinchwad Municipal Corporation (PCMC) on a Design, Build, Operate, Transfer (DBOT) basis, the project spans 21 years. The plant, located at the Moshi depot waste processing site, processes 1000 tonnes of waste daily, generating approximately 14 MW of green power.
Project Highlights:
Environmental Impact: Upon commissioning, the plant is expected to save an estimated 7 lakh tonnes of CO2 annually. This reduction is equivalent to taking 1.5 lakh passenger cars off the road each year!
Operational Efficiency: Currently running at 13.5 MW with a waste feed of around 630 T/day and an SSC of around 474 T/MW.
Key Takeaways from the Visit:
Waste Segregation: As citizens, we should always ensure proper segregation of household waste into wet and dry categories. This significantly enhances the plant’s efficiency and sustainability, achieving a gross calorific value (GCV) of around 1700 to 2500 Kcal/kg, which helps optimize maximum level of the plant's operations.
This visit reinforced the importance of waste segregation and the potential of WTE plants in contributing to environmental sustainability. Kudos to the ALR team for their remarkable efforts!

Wabag is looking to make desalination a key part of its business. In an earnings call with analysts, group chief financial officer Skandaprasad Seetharaman said so in as many words. “We have already said there are 3 main sectors we want to concentrate on… desalination, which is high technology; recycled reuse, which contributes to the circular economy; and industrial and international projects, which allow us to deploy advanced technology.” Mittal, in the same call, said Wabag’s order intake focus will be on desalination.

Congratulations to Sevozone Energies Farm in Gangoh, Saharanpur, on achieving outstanding results with the cultivation of the CO5 variety of Napier grass in just 30 days! Your remarkable accomplishment demonstrates exemplary dedication, innovation, and agricultural expertise. Your commitment to sustainable energy solutions through the cultivation of high-yielding biomass feedstocks is truly commendable. Wishing you continued success in your endeavors to contribute to a greener and more sustainable future.
Here's a closer look at its unparalleled qualities and the promise it holds for sustainable agriculture.
CO5 variety of Napier grass, scientifically known as Pennisetum purpureum, is renowned for its exceptional qualities that make it a preferred choice for various agricultural and bioenergy applications. Here are some of its notable specialties:
High Biomass Yield: CO5 Napier grass exhibits vigorous growth, resulting in high biomass yields per hectare. This characteristic makes it an excellent candidate for biomass production, particularly for biofuel and biogas generation.
Nutrient-Rich Fodder: The CO5 variety is rich in essential nutrients, including proteins, carbohydrates, vitamins, and minerals. As a result, it serves as a nutritious fodder option for livestock, promoting healthy growth and productivity in animals.
Drought Tolerance: CO5 Napier grass demonstrates remarkable resilience to drought conditions, making it suitable for cultivation in regions with limited water availability. Its ability to thrive in semi-arid environments contributes to its widespread adoption in dryland farming systems.
Rapid Regrowth: One of the distinguishing features of CO5 Napier grass is its rapid regrowth after harvesting or grazing. This characteristic allows for frequent harvesting cycles, enhancing productivity and ensuring a continuous supply of feed or biomass material throughout the growing season.
Adaptability: CO5 Napier grass exhibits versatility in various agro-climatic conditions, ranging from tropical to subtropical regions. Its adaptability to different soil types and climates further underscores its suitability for widespread cultivation across diverse geographical areas.
Overall, the CO5 variety of Napier grass combines high biomass productivity, nutritional value, resilience to environmental stressors, and adaptability, making it a valuable resource for sustainable agriculture, livestock feeding, and bioenergy production initiatives.

Reducing embodied carbon in buildings is now a huge topic in construction, and rightly so. This is an exciting step for us, with more bio-based insulation technologies to come. But it’s important that we can have a very open and science based debate about materials because although there is a huge interest in bio-based materials at the moment, logic would tell you that we cannot grow everything we need for construction. Neither can bio-based building materials meet all the technical and space constraint requirements of buildings because the needs are so complex. So my personal (and perhaps somewhat controversial) view is that we will need a mix of materials, including technical materials, albeit manufactured and disposed of with the least possible environmental impact. Unfortunately the data isn’t there yet to have an informed debate on this topic, but we are working on it and will share it as soon as we have it. We’re already beginning to gain a much deeper understanding of the relative performance of different materials, and our conclusion is that there is no silver bullet. For that reason we will continue to bring through new bio-based solutions such as HemKor, assuming they meet our high performance standards, and will also continue to work continuously with our supply chain to take embodied carbon out of raw materials for our technical insulation products. We will also participate fully in industry circularity initiatives to find ways at scale to re-use existing materials that are out there. Interesting times ahead…
