SRF clears Rs 12.7-cr proposal to cut gas emission

K.R. Srivats

New Delhi , July 5

SRF Ltd is keen to reduce emission of trifluoromethane (HFC-23) from the company's chemical business plant at Bhiwadi in Rajasthan.

To this end, the board of directors has cleared a capital expenditure proposal worth Rs 12.7 crore (phase-I) for greenhouse gas emission reduction through thermal oxidation.

The compound HFC-23 (trifluoromethane) is a greenhouse gas with global warming potential. It is generated as an unwanted product (one could even say by-product) during the manufacture of HCFC-22 (chlorodifluoromethane), which is used as a refrigerant in several applications and also as a chemical feedstock for manufacturing synthetic polymers.

A company official claimed that there are no statutory compulsions (in India) on SRF to capture or reduce emission of HFC-23.
