Sterlite Technologies (STL) has partnered with Hygenco to establish Maharashtra’s first green hydrogen and green oxygen production facility in Chhatrapati Sambhaji Nagar. This project aims to support sustainable manufacturing practices, specifically in optical fibre production. The initiative involves supplying 100% green hydrogen and oxygen to STL's Gaurav glass preform facility, a critical component in optical fibre manufacturing. By integrating green hydrogen into its production process, STL is positioning itself as one of the world's first optical fibre manufacturers to adopt this environmentally friendly approach. The partnership with Hygenco ensures a stable and commercially viable supply of green hydrogen for the next 20 years. STL's commitment to achieving Net Zero emissions by 2030 aligns with this initiative. The utilization of green hydrogen is expected to result in a reduction of approximately 30% in carbon emissions annually. Additionally, STL's semiconductor-grade glass preform plant, equipped with Industry 4.0 technologies, utilizes hydrogen and oxygen as fuel in blast furnaces to convert silica particles into high-quality glass. The plant also features advanced autonomous energy management systems, real-time monitoring, and automated control technologies to enhance safety and operational efficiency.
