72nd Annual Report 2016-17
In line with the Tata Group Policy on Climate Change,
Tata Motors has articulated its Climate Change Policy, which
articulates a three-pronged approach to our carbon
emissions mitigation strategy:
JLR achieved a 32% reduction in its
European fleet’s average tailpipe CO
2
emissions in just eight years. In the same
period, it has driven a 38% improvement
in its operational CO
2
emissions. Through a
combination of low-emission technologies
and electrification, JLR’s target is to reduce
its European fleet’s average tailpipe CO
2
emissions by a further 25% by 2020.
Through REALCAR (Recycled Aluminium
Car) project, in one year alone, JLR reclaimed
and recycled 50,000+ tonnes of aluminium
waste, feeding it back into its manufacturing
process; and preventing the associated CO
2
from being released into the atmosphere.
SETTING NEW BENCHMARKS
JLR continues to set new benchmarks for the sector. Targeting emissions reduction,
both for the manufacturing process and during the vehicles’ operations, JLR has
undertaken multiple initiatives:
Product
Development
Minimising tail-pipe
emissions, creating
products dependent
on alternative
energy sources
Manufacturing
Process
Improving energy
efficiency and
maximising use
of renewable
energy sources,
thereby minimising
emissions
Supply
Chain
Minimising
emissions with
the life-cycle
approach

•
UK manufacturing facilities, product
creation sites and most of the satellite sites
purchase 100% renewable electricity
from electricity providers.
•
Installing solar panels, LED lighting,
combined heat and power, building
management systems, voltage
optimisation, insulation and energy
mapping are all initiatives taken to
ensure carbon neutrality by 2020.
•
With an investment of GBP 23 million,
the Company has implemented over 60
energy-saving projects over past few years,
which has led to the
savings of 57,000
tonnes of CO
2
equivalent.
With this
accomplishment, JLR's specific emissions
per vehicle has reduced by almost 38%,
compared to what it was a decade ago.
TML is the second Indian company
which is committed to RE100, a global
collaborative initiative of the world’s
most influential companies aspiring to
source 100% renewable power.
Currently, TML has obtained around 9%
of electricity from renewables and has its
own captive wind power project of 21.95
MW capacity.
There are numerous energy conservation initiatives undertaken by TML
at its manufacturing facilities. Some of these include:
•
Using infrared sensors and
timers for on-off control of
industrial equipment like fans/
pumps/ motors, among others.
•
Installing Waste Heat Recovery
System to recover waste heat
from exhaust flue gases.
•
Installing LED lighting in all
offices and other common
areas.
•
Installing variable
frequency drives.
