CDM clearance received for Ramsarup captive power plant

Ramsarup Industries has received the clean development mechanism clearance from UNIFCCC for its 20 MW WHRB captive power project at Kharagpur in West Bengal.

The proposed plant is slated to generate up to 20 MW of power hourly using waste gas emanating from MBF and DRI kilns, which will help reducing the dependence on the power grid as well as making the plant eco friendly and green.

The project will reduce annually 114,996 tonnes per annum of carbon dioxide that will have been otherwise emitted into the atmosphere. Apart from reduced carbon dioxide emission, the plant will be saving substantial energy costs.
