Project Story
The Colgate Sanand Phase‑1 project installs a 6 × ASC15 concentrating solar collector field with a closed‑loop thermic‑fluid circuit, a short‑duration thermal‑energy buffer (≈505.7 kWhth) and a skid‑mounted solar steam generator designed to deliver saturated LP steam into the existing 2.8 bar(g) LP header.
The solar system is configured as a fuel‑saving overlay: existing natural‑gas boilers are retained as firm backup while solar‑generated steam reduces boiler firing during solar hours.
The design steam generation is 900 kg/h normal (1,000 kg/h design) and the Phase‑1 system delivers ~2,202.8 t/year of useful solar steam (≈47.98% annual solar fraction), avoiding about 5,801 MMBtu/yr of natural gas and approximately 308.11 tCO2e annually.
The project scope includes collector field, HTF loop, TES, steam generator, piping, instrumentation, PLC/SCADA, civil works and an M&V regime based on calibrated steam metering at the SG outlet; implementation requires FEED, HAZOP close‑out and statutory compliance before steam admission.
Verified Impact Data Card
Anonymised Project · India
This project's impact data is structured for Scope 3 Category 15 (Investments) reporting. Verified emissions reductions can be attributed to investor portfolios under the GHG Protocol Corporate Value Chain standard.
CSRD alignment under ESRS E1 (Climate Change) is in preparation and will be available once the EU taxonomy technical screening criteria are finalised for this project category.
Decentralised physical infrastructure network integration
will provide real-time MRV telemetry for this project.
What is this card?
The Verified Impact Data Card summarises the key environmental and assurance metrics for this project. Data is pulled live from VCS assessments and on-chain commitments.
How to read the data
- Emissions Reduction — Estimated annual CO2e avoided or removed, derived from the project's VCS methodology and baseline scenario.
- Overall Score — Composite VCS readiness score (0–100%) covering additionality, permanence, leakage, and MRV quality.
- REC % — Alignment with Renewable Energy Certificate issuance criteria.
- EEC % — Alignment with Energy Efficiency Certificate criteria.
- Phase — Current stage in the project development lifecycle.
- DePIN Integrity — Data integrity score from decentralised sensor network (uptime, calibration, completeness).
Glossary
- VCS — Verified Carbon Standard (Verra), a leading carbon credit certification programme.
- tCO2e/yr — Tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent per year.
- VVB — Validation/Verification Body, the independent auditor that reviews project claims.
- Evidence Tier — Classification of supporting evidence quality (e.g. Tier 1 = measured data, Tier 3 = default factors).
- Commitment Hash — Cryptographic hash of the assessment data committed to blockchain for tamper-proof audit trail.
- DePIN — Decentralised Physical Infrastructure Network, providing real-time sensor-based MRV data.
- Scope 3 Cat. 15 — GHG Protocol category covering financed emissions from investments.
- CSRD / ESRS E1 — EU Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive, climate change disclosure standard.
- MRV — Measurement, Reporting, and Verification.
