Also Mundra plant’ s phase III becomes the world’s first coal fired thermal project to receive carbon credits from the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), it said
Adani’s Mundra Phase III has three units of 660 MW each and has received carbon credits under the clean development mechanism.
The company said it expects to generate about 1.8 million Certified Emission Reductions each year.
The company, part of diversified Adani Group is expected to earn Rs 600 crore by trading these carbon credits during the first ten years of its operations.
“While the reduced combustion of fossil fuels will help conserve precious natural resources the carbon credit issuance to our project will also encourage other entities to implement similar projects to reduce their own carbon footprint,” Adani Power Managing Director Rajesh Adani said.
