The FINANCIAL -- Tata Power, India’s largest integrated private power utility, has undertaken various initiatives and conducted workshops to educate and spread awareness about utilisation of fly ash from thermal coal-based plants for construction.

According to Tata, in a recent development, Tata Power’s Jojobera thermal power station started the manufacturing of fly ash bricks. The technology adopted for making fly ash bricks is eco-friendly. It does not require steaming or auto-calving as the bricks are cured by water only.

Since firing process is avoided, there is no emission and no effluent is discharged. The bricks manufactured are being used inside the plant for making walls and for civil repairing jobs.The fly ash brick plant is in line with the company’s sustainability policy and this initiative is a step towards social commitment.
