Jindal Stainless Limited: A Major Opportunity in Biomass Pellets
Jindal Stainless is leveraging biomass pellets as a green energy source by co-firing them with coal in their boilers. This process helps reduce their reliance on fossil fuels and lowers their carbon footprint. By using agro-residue based pellets, they’re turning agricultural waste into a valuable fuel, which is a key part of the circular economy. This is a big step for a company of their size and highlights a growing trend in heavy industry.

Year-wise Requirement:
First Year: 73,000 MT (at 5% of total fuel)
Second Year: 102,200 MT (at 7% of total fuel)
Third Year: 102,200 MT (at 7% of total fuel)
Daily Supply Rate: Ramps up from 200 MT/day in the first year to 280 MT/day in the following years.

Raw Material: Made from agro-residue.
Size: The pellets must have a diameter of no more than 25mm and a length less than 3mm.
Quality Metrics (As Received Basis – ARB):
Ash Content: Less than 14%
Volatile Matter (VM): 60-64%
Moisture: Less than 14%
Fines: Less than or equal to 5%
Gross Calorific Value (GCV): The energy content of the pellets is crucial. They are looking for pellets with a GCV between 3200 and 4500 Kcal/kg, but they must not be less than 2800 Kcal/kg.
