Vedanta's aluminium business has supplied its first rake consignment of 4,000 tonnes of fly ash from Jharsuguda unit to one of the plants of ACC Cement for the production of low-carbon cement. The move which is a part of the company's waste-to-wealth initiative will ensure utilisation of an industrial by-product like fly ash in circular avenues.
Fly ash is a by-product of the coal-based thermal power generation unit which caters to electricity requirement of Vedanta's aluminium smelters at Jharsuguda. Fly ash can be utilised for improving product quality, conserving energy, water and other valuable resources and reducing the industry's carbon footprint.
Vedanta is a diversified natural resources company, whose business primarily involves producing oil and gas, zinc- lead-silver, copper, iron ore, aluminium and commercial power.
