GREEN INITIATIVES
We have taken several steps to increase the share of sustainable energy in the operations, whilst ensuring a safe and healthy work environment as well as local environment.
REDUCING CARBON FOOTPRINTS BY UTILISING FLUE GAS
The flue gas produced from the DRI facility is processed in the Waste Heat Recovery Boiler to get around 50 % of the steam needed to generate electricity in the Captive Power Plant (CPP). It has helped bring down CPP’s coal requirement to half, thus reducing the consumption of natural resources.
SOLAR POWER PLANT
A 1 MW Solar Plant has been set up at Tankajoda, Sundargarh, under the Jawaharlal Nehru National Solar Mission (JNNSM) to increase dependency on sustainable energy sources.
WATER HARVESTING
Water is precious and depleting ground water across the globe has made us to rethink our water consumption and hence, we actively invested in setting up a water harvesting facility at the plant to harvest the rainwater to replenish the water table and cater to a fraction of our needs
ENERGY EFFICIENT TRANSFORMER
AND IE4 MOTORS
SMFA has installed IE4 motors as standard across the plant alongwith upgradation of the transformers to help increase energy efficiency and lower our net power consumption
BIODEGRADABLE PLANT
At Shri Mahavir Ferro Alloys, our Biodegradable Organic Waste Compost Plant transforms organic food waste and sawdust into nutrient-rich compost, promoting sustainable waste management and environmental health as part of a green initiative.
ADOPTION OF EV HEAVY VEHICLES
SMFA is proud to be the first Steel company in India to adopt LiuGong's advanced EV loaders, such as the 856HE & 820TE, revolutionizing sustainable heavy equipment usage with zero-emission technology and enhanced efficiency.
