Energy
ITC businesses continue to make concerted efforts in energy conservation and adopt renewable energy to reduce the carbon intensity of ITC's growing portfolio of products and services. ITC is 98% self sufficient through co-generation of energy. ITC has been 'carbon positive' four years in a row sequestering /storing twice the amount of CO2 that the company emits. carbon sequestering is a process by which plants take in the carbon dioxide present in the atmosphere and synthesises it into oxygen by photosynthesis and releases it into the atmosphere.
  
Below is the summary of efforts in the last 3 years for energy conservation: 
No. of projects :77
Annual Electrical Energy Savings : 20.61 Million Units
Annual Thermal Energy Savings : 1.19 Lakh MT of Coal
Total Savings : Rs. 278.86 Million
  
The payback period for total investment in the energy conversation project is 3 years. The graph below shows that ITC PSPD Bhadrachalam has less energy consumption in terms of National or International standards.
  
Renewable Energy is another source which ITC is harvesting in order to decrease the dependency of the mills on fossil energy. ITC ventured into wind energy generation with 14 MW capacity to serve the power demand of various units under its purview. For harnessing this energy 9 windmills were commissioned. Solar lights are used at the mills which operate from dusk till dawn  with a lumen output of approximately 1200 Lumens per unit, these lights are environment friendly as they are pollution free and derived out of renewable energy. Also, solar water heaters are used in all the residential spaces in the mills.
 


ITC Social Farm Forestry

The CDM–EB of the UNFCCC has registered  ITC’s unique large-scale social forestry project – a first of its kind in India and globally the only Afforestation/Reforestation project with retrospective credits of 57792 CERs.UNFCCC issued 2,48,536 CERs from 4 CDM projects registered in Bhadrachalam till date and realized Rs. 21.03 Crores from CERs sale








As per the CSE 2009 report on pulp and paper, the table below depicts the average energy consumption for the mills surveyed was 39.2 GigaJoule/Air Dry Tonne (GJ/ADt) paper. The Best available technique (BAT) indicate primary energy consumption of 11 GJ/ADT for kraft pulping and 3.6  GJ/ADT for wastepaper pulping.The BAT values for pulp from pulp range from 13.7 GJ/ADT paper to 17.8 GJ/ADTfor various grades of paper. Based on the mix of pulp and products, the energy consumption associated with the BAT for the sample was 23 GJ/ADT. Thus, the actual consumption of 39.2 GJ/ADT indicated a very high saving potential of 70%. The deviation of the specific primary energy consumption from BAT for the plants surveyed varied from 34 percent for ITC PSPD to 86 percent for JK Papers.
