SUPERGAS Embraces Renewable Energy at Tuticorin Terminal

SUPERGAS, has made a significant stride towards sustainability by switching to renewable energy for its Tuticorin terminal operations. This transition, effective from June 27, 2024, marks a pivotal moment in the company's journey to reduce its carbon footprint and meet the growing energy demands of India.

In 2023, SUPERGAS expanded the capacity of its Tuticorin Terminal by 30,000 tonnes to meet the rising energy demand from both consumers and businesses in India. Recognizing the growing need for sustainable energy solutions, SUPERGAS now made a strategic decision to switch to renewable sources for its terminal operations.

Effective June 27, 2024, we began sourcing 4MW of solar energy for Tuticorin Terminal's daily operations from its sister company, SunSource Energy Kavanur Group Captive Solar Plant. This initiative alone meets a substantial 70% of the terminal's energy needs, resulting in notable annual cost savings.

Prior to this significant step, SUPERGAS was already using renewable energy sourced through the Indian Energy Exchange to power up to 22% of the Tuticorin Terminal's energy requirements. With the addition of solar power, the terminal is now powered by renewable sources up to 92%, significantly reducing its carbon emissions.

By transitioning to renewable energy, SUPERGAS has made a substantial contribution to reducing the CO2 emissions associated with Tuticorin Terminal. It is estimated that this initiative will lead to a reduction of up to 4,965 tonnes of CO2 emissions per annum.

By embracing sustainable practices, SUPERGAS is not only reducing the environmental impact but also demonstrates our dedication to sustainable practices.
