India’s ReNew Energy becomes carbon-neutral

ReNew Energy Global has been verified as carbon-neutral for its operations, which includes more than 100 sites across India.

It includes the company's Scope 1 and 2 emissions across its sites and facilities, following its commitment to become net zero last year.

During the 2021 financial year, ReNew avoided more than 10 million tones of carbon equivalent emissions through its clean energy operations.

The company, which develops, owns and operates utility-scale wind and solar, hydro and distributed solar energy projects, had a total capacity of around 10.3GW of renewable energy projects across India.

Vaishali Nigam Sinha, ReNew's Chief Sustainability Officer said: “As an industry pioneer, we will intensify our efforts in the ESG domain to further lower our carbon footprint through focused activities, including energy efficient measures, digital initiatives and other targeted sustainability initiatives.”
