In a landmark achievement for sustainable energy, Ahmedabad has unveiled Gujarat’s largest waste-to-energy power plant, a groundbreaking facility capable of processing 1,000 tonnes of waste daily to generate 15 MW of clean energy. This ambitious project reflects effective public-private collaboration and marks a significant stride in India’s waste management and renewable energy.
Playing a vital role in this initiative, Thermax Limited has contributed its cutting-edge expertise by installing an Advanced Flue Gas Cleaning System (FGCS). This innovative technology effectively curtails emissions, including SPM, SO₂, HCl, HF, dioxins, and heavy metals, aligning with stringent environmental standards and delivering cleaner air for surrounding communities. Thermax Limited, headquartered in Pune, India, is a leading energy and environment solutions provider committed to sustainability and energy efficiency.
Thermax’s involvement goes beyond just technological solutions. The project exemplifies the company’s commitment to fostering a sustainable, zero-carbon future, highlighting its focus on transforming waste into valuable energy resources. By significantly reducing landfill dependency and enhancing energy efficiency, the plant benefits urban waste management and contributes to the broader goal of environmental sustainability.
This milestone reiterates Thermax’s dedication to environmentally responsible innovations, driving India’s energy transition and supporting urban communities with cleaner, renewable energy solutions. As cities grow and grapple with mounting waste challenges, projects like these stand as great examples of innovation and sustainable development.
Thermax offers diverse products and services, including boilers, heating equipment, absorption chillers, air pollution control systems, and water and waste recycling solutions. Its operations span various sectors, such as power, oil and gas, chemicals, and food processing, emphasizing integrating eco-friendly technologies to meet industrial needs. Its global presence, manufacturing facilities, and offices in multiple countries showcase its dedication to delivering sustainable solutions worldwide.
In recent years, Thermax has intensified its focus on sustainable practices and energy efficiency. The company has embarked on initiatives like developing bio-CNG plants and securing orders exceeding ₹500 crore for establishing five such facilities across India. These plants are designed to process over 1,000 tonnes of local feedstock daily, including agricultural residues, to produce 110 tonnes per day of bio-CNG, thereby reducing reliance on fossil fuels and promoting renewable energy sources.
Thermax has partnered with Ceres Power to manufacture large-scale Solid Oxide Electrolysis Cells (SOEC) for green hydrogen production. The aim is to deliver systems up to 25% more efficient than existing low-temperature electrolysis technologies. These endeavours highlight Thermax’s proactive approach to advancing energy efficiency and supporting the global transition towards sustainable energy solutions.
