Vedanta Aluminium, a business of Vedanta, has dispatched its first supply of low-carbon aluminium to a company based in Telangana. As part of the order, the company will supply 300 metric tonnes of Restora Billets to Global Aluminium, a leading aluminium extrusion company based in Telangana.
Manufactured using renewable energy, Restora is produced with a greenhouse gas emission intensity within four tonnes of CO2 equivalent per tonne of aluminium manufactured, which is the global threshold for aluminium to be considered as having a low carbon footprint. Restora Ultra, made with aluminium recovered from dross, a byproduct of aluminium smelting, has an even lower carbon footprint that is near zero and is amongst the lowest in the world.
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.
