Oil and Natural Gas Corporation (ONGC) is planning to invest about Rs 2 lakh crore to achieve zero carbon emissions by 2038. The company will invest Rs 1 lakh crore by 2030 in setting up 10 gigawatts of renewable energy capacity, green ammonia plant, and offshore wind energy projects. The remaining would flow thereafter to achieve Scope-1 and 2 net zero carbon emissions.
The company currently has 189 MW of capacity to generate electricity from renewable sources. It is targeting 10 GW by 2030. The company already has signed MoU for 5 GW in Rajasthan and is scouting for projects for similar size. Besides, it wants to set up 25 compressed bio gas plants that will convert agri-residue into gas that can be used to run automobiles (CNG) or used in industries to generate electricity and fertilizer. The company is also scouting for opportunities to set up a 1 million tonnes per annum green ammonia plant.
Integrating sustainable practices into core operations has enabled a reduction in Scope-1 and Scope-2 emissions by 17 per cent in the last five years. ONGC has reduced its emissions by 2.66 per cent in FY23 (April 2022 to March 2023 fiscal year).
ONGC is India’s largest government-run corporation and produces about 70% of India’s crude oil and natural gas. The corporation is the biggest public sector commercial organization in India.
