The project activity generates electricity from the utilisation of waste heat of flue gases generated in DRI Kilns of Sponge iron plants. The Capacity of the generated electricity from waste heat of flue gas is 8MW. This project activity is developed by Sree Rengaraaj Power India Private Limited (SRPIPL) and it is located in Perundurai taluka of Erode District, Tamilnadu.  The electricity generated by this project activity is used within the industrial facility for captive usage and the remaining surplus power is wheeled to its sister concern through southern regional grid. If the absence of this project activity both Rengaraaj steel and its sister concern will import power from southern regional grid. Net Electricity generated from this project is 50,458 MWh/yr. The Generated electricity is being GHG neutral; the annual GHG emission reduction through this project activity is estimated to be around 43,186 tonnes of Carbon dioxide equivalent.

Utilizing Waste Heat to Power Sponge Iron Plants in Tamilnadu

Sree Rengaraaj Power India Private Limited (SRPIPL) has developed a project to generate electricity by utilizing the waste heat from flue gases created in DRI Kilns of Sponge Iron Plants. This innovative project is located in Perundurai Taluka of Erode District, Tamilnadu.

Key Highlights:
- The generated electricity from waste heat of flue gas is 8MW.
- The electricity is used within the industrial facility for captive usage and the remaining surplus power is wheeled to its sister concern through southern regional grid.
- Net Electricity generated from this project is 50,458 MWh/yr.
- The project reduces annual GHG emissions by an estimated 43,186 tonnes of CO2 equivalent.

This project plays a crucial role in reducing carbon emissions while also contributing to the energy needs of the industrial facility and its sister concern. Without this project, both Rengaraaj Steel and its sister concern would have to import power from the southern regional grid, increasing their carbon footprint. By utilizing waste heat to generate electricity, this project is a sustainable solution to meet energy needs while reducing GHG emissions.
