The energy sector is critical in the light of the burgeoning population of the world and exponential increase in energy demands. India is dependent on crude oil imports – about $125 billion annually – to meet its energy needs, even as close to 300 million Indians live without electricity. In today’s context, moving up in the energy ladder and achieving energy security necessitate using low-carbon and clean energy options like solar energy. The Indian government has revised its commitment to scale up solar energy from 20GW to 175GW — to be achieved by 2022.
Armed with valuable learnings and confident of achieving our goal of sourcing 100% of our electricity from renewables, we are installing a 70 KW solar photo-voltaic (PV) plant at our Boolean® Campus in Noida, and has helped to completely offset our electricity consumption, and will in fact be running at a surplus. Today, Boolean® is a forerunner among corporates to adopt solar energy as one of its key renewable energy sources.
Climate change needs global action and Boolean® recognizes its role to be part of the solution. We aim to drive climate action within our operations and engage with stakeholders for the global agenda. Our unwavering focus on responsiveness to the needs of the environment ecology will continue to be in three main areas:
Decreasing carbon emissions through energy efficiency and conservation while moving to renewable energy
Minimizing waste going to landfills
Conserving freshwater along with water recycling.
Make POWER while the sun shines
