Adani Portfolio: Pioneering ammonia blending in India’s thermal power plants Adani Portfolio: Using green hydrogen fuel cell truck in mining operations THE TWO MAGIC WORDS ENERGISING THE THERMAL ENERGY SECTOR ARE ‘AMMONIA CO-FIRING’. These words promise to transform one of the biggest challenges facing the energy sector through informed research. Adani Power will explore ammonia co-firing at its Mundra power plant, among the country’s largest thermal power installations. This cutting-edge technology – accessed through a collaboration with IHI Corporation and Kowa Company Limited – will be directed towards a reduction in emissions and promote the use of sustainable energy. The technology has been tested and validated. Kowa and IHI Corporation implemented ammonia co-firing in a large commercial coal-fired power plant in Japan. The result is that at Adani Power, a 20% liquid ammonia co-firing ratio, enhanced progressively to 100% mono-firing with a prudent blend of coal with 20% green ammonia, could lead to an emission reduction of around 19%. MINING LOGISTICS AND TRANSPORTATION SECTORS WARRANT DECARBONISED SOLUTIONS ON ACCOUNT OF THE FUEL-INTENSIVE NATURE OF OPERATIONS. This need – growth with sustainability – is being increasingly articulated by mining leaders the world over. Adani Enterprises is addressing this pressing requirement with urgency. The Company entered into an agreement with Ashok Leyland and Ballard Power with the expressed objective to develop a hydrogen fuel cell electric truck (FCET), the first such instance in Asia and among few such companies in the world. The coming together of the three leaders will help pool competencies: the lead partner Adani Enterprises will leverage its understanding of mining and green hydrogen production; Ballard Power is a prominent fuel cell engine manufacturer that will supply the FCmove™ fuel cell engine; Ashok Leyland, one of India’s leading bus manufacturers, will contribute the vehicle platform and related technical expertise. This development, when applied across Adani Power’s coal-fired assets - could help decarbonise India. Besides, this could defer the phasing out of thermal power generation in India’s energy mix, reinforcing the country’s capacity to shift between fuels on the one hand and enhancing responsibility within conventional fuels at scale. For better tomorrows. The FCET launch in India in 2023 will not only represent a milestone in the successful application of green hydrogen in a growing downstream sector; it will also showcase the Adani Portfolio’s commitment in entering into business- strengthening alliances that represent potent energy transition platforms for the long-term. For better tomorrows. ESG Report 2022-23 71 70 Adani Group
