Dalmia Cement begins transition to cleaner logistics with LNG trucks

By February 22, 2023 4:39 pm IST

GreenLine Logistics to deploy 35 trucks, its biggest consignment of LNG vehicles in cement sector to achieve transition to 10 percent green transport.
Dalmia Cement (Bharat) Limited (DCBL), a leading Indian cement manufacturer deployed its first fleet of LNG trucks. DCBL has tied up with GreenLine Logistics (Green Planet Logistics Pvt Ltd.). It is India’s first and only LNG-fuelled heavy trucking logistics company, for this significant initiative towards building a ‘green’ supply chain with an initial order of 35 trucks. The first lot of trucks has been deployed from its Chandrapur Plant in Maharashtra. The next deployment of 25 trucks will be done from its plant in Tamil Nadu in April. The introduction of LNG and EV trucks are part of DCBL’S green logistics strategy for the decarbonisation of its transportation fleet, which accounts for around 1.5 percent of total CO2equivalent emissions. Dalmia Cement plans to convert 10 percent of its existing fleet of 3,000 vehicles to the eco-friendlier LNG alternative transport by end of FY24. The current consignment is also one of the biggest for LNG trucks signed with GreenLine Logistics in the cement sector.
Dalmia Cement has employed two types of LNG trucks – trailer and bulker trucks, for the transportation of raw materials and bagged cement. These will cover 50 – 600 kms range for inbound and outbound logistics. GreenLine’s LNG trucks reduce CO2 emissions by ~28 percent, translating to emission reduction of ~24 ton CO2 per truck per annum, compared to conventional diesel trucks. Over the initial fleet of 35 LNG trucks, this adds up to a significant reduction of 840-ton CO2 per year. In addition, these LNG trucks significantly reduce other dangerous emissions – Sox emissions by upto 100 percent, NOx emissions by upto 59 percent and Particulate Matter by upto 91 percent.
Company Spokesperson, DBL said, “Dalmia Cement has been following the business philosophy of Clean & Green is Profitable and Sustainable. Our overall CO2 emissions have come down from 670 kg per tonne to 467 kg per tonne – one of the lowest globally and we are focusing on realizing our carbon negative goal by 2040. We are delighted to partner with GreenLine Logistics for further reduction of our carbon footprint and GHG emissions under Scope 3 category.”
Anand Mimani, CEO, GreenLine, said, “We are proud to partner with Dalmia Cement in their emissions reduction journey by decarbonising their heavy trucking and will be investing ~INR 250 cr to enable transition of 10 percent of their fleet to LNG by March 2024. Reducing emissions from heavy trucking is crucial for corporates targeting net-zero. GreenLine is enabling this through its fleet of LNG-powered heavy duty trucks.”
