Dabur goes green in war on carbon
Consumer goods major Dabur India (DABUR.NS : 162.95 -0.2) has chalked out plans to emerge as a carbon-neutral enterprise. The company is setting up new boilers, gasifiers and biogas generators at its manufacturing units in India and Nepal to re-use wet herbal waste from the facility as fuel. The company also commissioned this month a new gasifier at its Nepal unit that would generate steam by using rice husk as fuel, thus saving on the energy costs. At its Katni unit in Madhya Pradesh, the company has substituted furnace oil with petcoke - a byproduct of crude refining - as fuel. Similar initiatives are also underway at its units in Newai (Rajasthan), Baddi (Himachal Pradesh), Sahibabad (Uttar Pradesh) and Nepal. The company would invest around Rs 5 crore towards these programmes.
