Quoting INOX Air Products Managing Director Siddharth Jain, the statement said, “With the commissioning of our first Open Access captive Solar Power Plant in India, we have taken a giant step towards our Net Zero goals.
“While we are expanding our footprint to augment the rapid growth in the manufacturing sector, we are also ensuring that we perform our duties in a completely sustainable and responsible manner, by manufacturing with Green fuels, and thereby supplying Green Oxygen & Industrial Gases.”
Jain added that with the commissioning of this plant, the company will offset a significant amount of carbon emission, and contribute towards a cleaner and greener future.
The company aims to increase the share of Green Oxygen in its overall Oxygen production, by increasing the use of renewable energy across its ASUs in India.
