STL Achieves Sustainable Manufacturing Milestone with Maharashtra's First Green Hydrogen Facility
Key Ideas
  • STL collaborates with Hygenco for Maharashtra's first green hydrogen and oxygen production facility, supporting its optical fibre manufacturing.
  • The green hydrogen project aims to achieve Net Zero by 2030, reducing carbon emissions by ~30% annually in the optical fibre production process.
  • The Industry 4.0-enabled plant in Chhatrapati Sambhaji Nagar integrates advanced energy management systems, monitoring, and control technologies for operational efficiency.
  • STL and Hygenco's partnership sets a global benchmark for decarbonization in the optical fibre industry, leading the way in green manufacturing.
STL, a global leader in optical and digital solutions, has partnered with Hygenco to establish Maharashtra's inaugural green hydrogen and oxygen production facility in Chhatrapati Sambhaji Nagar. This initiative aims to provide green hydrogen and oxygen to STL's glass preform manufacturing plant, enabling the company to utilize 100% green hydrogen in its production processes. By leveraging green hydrogen, STL is working towards achieving Net Zero by 2030 and aims to reduce carbon emissions by around 30% annually. The collaboration with Hygenco ensures a reliable supply of green hydrogen and oxygen for the next two decades. The Industry 4.0-enabled plant in Chhatrapati Sambhaji Nagar focuses on producing Glass Preforms essential for high-quality optical fibre manufacturing, with hydrogen and oxygen playing a critical role in the process. By integrating advanced autonomous energy management systems, real-time monitoring, and automated control technologies, STL enhances safety and operational efficiency at the plant. Rahul Puri, CEO of Optical Networking Business at STL, highlights the significance of this milestone in decarbonizing the optical fibre industry, setting a new standard for green manufacturing. Amit Bansal, CEO of Hygenco Green Energies, emphasizes the potential of green hydrogen in India's sustainability journey and the transformative impact it can have on industrial processes. The collaboration between STL and Hygenco signifies a bold step towards a more sustainable and environmentally friendly future, positioning India at the forefront of green manufacturing in the global optical fibre industry.
