Paperboards and Specialty Papers Business Actual for 2014-15 (TCO2e/T) Target for 2015-16 (TCO2e/T) Actual for 2015-16 (TCO2e/T) Comparison against target Comparison against last year actual Primary Factors
Bhadrachalam 1.56 1.53 1.43 6.5% lower 8.3% decrease
  • Increased production of in-house pulp to reduce dependency on imported pulp, which led to 8% increase in the generation of black liquor (a biomass-based fuel) and thus reduce consumption of coal.
  • Energy conservation measures that have contributed to reduce the specific energy consumption by 2.5% (as explained in 'Energy' section')
Kovai 0.79 0.77 0.64 16.9% lower 19.0% decrease
  • Change in fuel mix resulting an increase in utilisation of biomass-based fuels (saw dust, de-oiled bran and charcoal from sustainable sources) and reduce dependency on fossil fuel (lignite).
Tribeni 3.70 3.63 3.62 0.3% lower 2.2% decrease
  • Energy conservation measures that have contributed to reduce the specific energy consumption by 1.6%
