India’s textile giant Arvind Ltd. is focusing more on solar energy!
The company has signed an agreement with Industrial Solar GmbH– a subsidiary of Clean Industry Solutions Holding (CISH)– for an engineering study, the first phase of implementing a concentrating solar collector.
The order value of the design engineering amounts to € 46k.
The planned collector field will have a capacity of almost 8.6 MWth and cover an area of 20,000 m2 to produce saturated steam at 9 bars.
Arvind Ltd. is one of the biggest suppliers for global brands and retailers like H&M.
In a press release, CISH said that H&M Group has been attaching great importance to reducing its emissions by 56 per cent until 2030 and is prioritising the implementation of renewable clean energy in its manufacturing facilities which are responsible for 70 per cent of garment’s climate impact.
“As part of this initiative, H&M has stopped onboarding new suppliers with on-site coal boilers into its supply chain, and instead, invests in its suppliers to support them in transitioning to renewable energy sources,” the statement said.
It further added that for this purpose, H&M has arranged for Industrial Solar to build a demonstration project for one of its biggest suppliers, Arvind Ltd., that will deliver proof of concept for the integration of a concentrating solar thermal system to provide direct steam for the textile processes. In this first design engineering, Industrial Solar is developing a solar process heat system.
