Kotmar Waste Heat Recovery

This project involves the installation of a waste heat recovery boiler at a steel plant near Kotmar, in the Central State of Chhattisgarh in India. The boiler captures flue gases from the plant’s kiln which were previously vented directly into the atmosphere. Heat is extracted from the captured gases to generate steam which drives a turbine, producing clean electricity. The energy is used onsite to power the plant while supplying the local grid, displacing electricity that would otherwise have been generated by fossil-fuel fired power stations. This not only avoids CO2 emissions but local pollutants like sulphur and nitrogen oxide which are associated with the combustion of fossil fuels.

Alongside the emissions reductions, the project has created employment opportunities for up to 50 people and the project contributes to stabilising the local electricity supply, supporting local economic activity.
