ITC - energy
• ITC is 98% self sufficient through co-generation of energy from bio-mass waste from wood pulp plantations.
• ITC has been 'carbon positive' four years in a row sequestering /storing twice the amount of CO2 that the company emits.
• ITC ventured into wind energy generation with 14 MW capacity and solar heaters.
TNPL • 35 MW OF Green energy
• 20 MW of bio energy produced
BILT
• Only 9% of the energy used is from bio mass and remaining conventional energy is still used.
• But many energy saving measures are being taken.
JK
• Only conventional energy is mostly used.
