Tata Chemicals Magadi Limited (TCML) has commissioned a 10 tons per hour electric calciner, the first of its kind in the global soda ash industry, in a bid to accelerate the path to carbon neutrality.
The facility launched on Friday, along with the launch of a 5MW solar photovoltaic (PV) plant marks an ambitious transition from Heavy Furnace Oil (HFO) based calcination to renewable, low-carbon technologies.
