AMBUJA CEMENT introduces green fuel on captive ships

Ambuja Cement has successfully completed sea trials of using soya extract-based biofuel in two of its cement carriers — Ambuja Mukund and Ambuja Vaibhav. Switching to biodiesel will reduce CO2 emissions from shipping lines by 25%, which in turn will strengthen India’s ability to deliver on its commitment made under the Paris Accord. This makes Ambuja Cement not just the first Indian company to move towards the decarbonisation of the country’s coastal shipping lines but also advancing its focus on innovation and sustainability.
