Sterlite Technologies (STL) has partnered with Hygenco to establish Maharashtra's first green hydrogen and green oxygen production facility in Chhatrapati Sambhaji Nagar, India. This initiative is geared towards sustainable manufacturing, particularly in optical fibre production. The green hydrogen project will cater to the Gaurav glass preform facility of STL, a crucial element in the optical fibre manufacturing process. By leveraging green hydrogen, STL is set to become one of the pioneering optical fibre manufacturers worldwide to incorporate 100% green hydrogen into its production operations, aligning with its goal of achieving Net Zero emissions by 2030. The green hydrogen plant, operated by Hygenco, will ensure a consistent and economically feasible supply over the next two decades. STL's glass preform plant, equipped with Industry 4.0 capabilities, utilizes hydrogen and oxygen in blast furnaces to transform silica particles into top-notch glass. The adoption of green hydrogen is projected to lead to an annual reduction of approximately 30% in carbon emissions. Moreover, the plant features cutting-edge autonomous energy management systems, real-time monitoring, and automated control technologies to enhance safety and operational efficiency. This strategic partnership reflects a significant step towards sustainable production practices and innovation in the field of optical fibre manufacturing.
