2 1. Project Activity Project Description The project activity has been proposed by Hindustan Zinc Limited, a member company of Vedanta Group, at its Chanderiya smelting unit in Rajasthan. HZL had only a pyro process based manufacturing unit till 2005, when another unit, based on hydro process was commissioned.the total installed capacity at Chanderiya smelting unit is 275,000 tons per annum (TPA) of refined zinc. In order to meet the power requirement of different units, HZL commissioned a 2X77 MW coal based captive power plant. The project activity is 9.4 MW waste heat recovery based power plant which is supplying electricity generated for its internal operations. The electricity in the absence of project activity would have been imported from the captive power plant. The purpose of the project activity is to recover waste heat from the flue gas generated in zinc roaster. The heat recovered is being used in the waste heat recovery boilers (WHRB) for generating high pressure steam which is then expanded for driving turbines for generating electricity. Hence the Project activity is utilizing waste heat recovered from flue gas produced in roaster unit for generating electricity. Roaster is the main heat intensive unit of Hydro processing plant wherein raw zinc concentrate gets oxidized to form zinc oxide, liberating hot flue gases with following characteristics. Reactions in roaster unit are exothermic and produce enough heat to continue reactions. Except for the initial start ups there is no fuel required in roaster unit. (478.1 KL of Light Diesel Oil (LDO) was consumed during April July 2006). During the start up operations of the roaster unit there will be water circulation in the waste heat recovery boilers but no generation of steam in the WHRB. The waste heat recovery boiler is of unfired type. There is no auxiliary fuel firing in the start ups of the waste heat recovery boiler hence there shall not be any project emissions due to fossil fuel firing in the project activity. The project activity of HZL assists in achieving the above components of sustainable development as follows: Social well being Employment opportunities have been created both during construction and operation stages by the project activity. Skilled people have been appointed for operating and maintaining the power unit. These employment opportunities would have not been created in absence of the project activity. Economic well being The project activity is effectively utilizing the waste gases for generating electricity. Generation of electricity in waste heat recovery based power turbine has reduced power supply to hydro processing unit from coal based captive power unit which in turns results in increased profitability of captive unit hence ensuring economic well being. Environmental well being VER Monitoring report Waste heat recovery based power plant at Hindustan Zinc Limited, Chanderia Page 2

3 The project activity is helping global environment by avoiding the generation of greenhouse gases in coal based captive power unit. It is also resulting in avoidance of thermal pollution in the vicinity that would have occurred due to waste gas emissions at high temperature. Technological well being Electricity generation from waste heat recovered from zinc roaster has not been implemented in Indian Zinc industry. Self sufficiency for meeting the power requirement has made the project a role model to be followed in Indian zinc industry. 2.

10 Annex-1 BASELINE ESTIMATIONS (EF Calculations as per PDD) Emission Factor Approach suggested in Approved Consolidated Methodology ACM0004 is used to estimate the grid emission factor for the project activity. The baseline scenario for the project activity has been taken as supply from the existing coal based captive power plant. The baseline emission factor for captive power plant has been computed using the following formula: EF captive, y = (EF CO2,i x 44 x 3.6 TJ)/(Eff captive X 12 X1000 MWh) where: EF captive, y Emissions factor for captive power generation (tco2/mwh) EF CO2, i CO2 emissions factor of fuel used in captive power generation (tc/tj) Eff captive Efficiency of the captive power generation (%) 44/12 Carbon to Carbon Dioxide conversion factor 3.6/1000 TJ to MWh conversion factor In order to estimate the captive power generation efficiency, project participants have chosen the following option: Option A (Refer ACM0004 / Version 02, 03 March 2006) Use the highest value among the following three values as a conservative approach: 1. Measured efficiency prior to project implementation 2. Measured efficiency during monitoring 3. Manufacturer nameplate data for efficiency of the existing boilers HZL has chosen option-a for calculating efficiency of captive power generation. The highest value amongst the following three values shall be chosen for efficiency calculation. 1. Efficiency of captive power plant has been calculated by dividing output energy from the plant by total energy input of the fuel prior to implementation of the project activity.

Design efficiency of the captive power generation has been used. VER Monitoring report Waste heat recovery based power plant at Hindustan Zinc Limited, Chanderia Page 11

12 Out of the above three values design efficiency has the highest value and has been chosen as conservative value for emission factor calculations.
