Manufactured using renewable energy, Restora’s GHG emission
intensity is well below 4 tonnes of CO2 equivalent per tonne of
aluminium manufactured – the global threshold for aluminium to be
considered as low carbon aluminium, as per assessment by an
independent, global verification assurance firm. Restora Ultra,
manufactured with aluminium recovered from dross (a by-product of
the aluminium smelting process), has a near-zero carbon footprint
that is amongst the lowest in the world. For this, Vedanta has
partnered with Runaya Refining, a fast-growing manufacturing
start-up focussed on creating innovative solutions for the
resources sector. Vedanta Aluminium can customize Restora into
ingots, billets and other value-added products, as per customer
requirements.
Rahul Sharma, CEO – Aluminium Business, Vedanta Ltd.,
said, “The launch of Restora marks a proud moment in our
commitment to decarbonize our operations and provide our customers
an unmatched competitive advantage with sustainable aluminium
products. Restora has a GHG emission intensity which is almost half
of the global threshold for low carbon aluminium. With consumers
becoming increasingly conscious of the provenance of the products
they use, Vedanta’s Restora will provide them the assurance that
the aluminium they purchase has amongst the lowest carbon
footprints in the world.”
Annanya Agarwal, co-founder, Runaya, added, “We are
delighted to collaborate with Vedanta for creating Restora Ultra.
Runaya is working towards disrupting the linear economy model by
building in principles of circularity and sustainability into the
design of the resources industry.”
Vedanta Aluminium Business, a division of Vedanta Limited, is
India’s largest manufacturer of aluminium, producing 1.97 million
tonnes per annum (MTPA) in FY21. The company ranked 4th among
aluminium producers globally in the Dow Jones Sustainability Index
(DJSI) in 2021. The company is on a mission to spur emerging
applications of aluminium as the ‘Metal of the Future’ for a
greener tomorrow.
