HUL scraps coal usage across operations, replaces with green alternatives
FMCG major Hindustan Unilever (HUL) has eliminated coal usage across its operations and replaced it with green alternatives such as biomass and biodiesel, the company said in a release.
The country’s largest consumer goods manufacturer has collaborated with biomass suppliers and local farmers to ensure sustainable supply of green fuel and made the necessary changes for the renewable transition in its coal-fired boilers.
The shift from coal to renewable energy sources has also resulted into savings for HUL, the company said.
Citing an example, HUL said that at one of its home care plants, it found solutions to eliminate coal usage, which has helped achieve Rs 3.5 crore in fuel savings whilst reducing 4 million kgs of carbon dioxide emissions and increasing fuel efficiency as well.
