Hitachi Construction Machinery Co., Ltd. (TSE: 6305; “Hitachi Construction Machinery”) today announced that its consolidated subsidiary Tata Hitachi Construction Machinery Company Private Limited (Managing Director: Sandeep Singh, Headquarters: Bangalore, Karnataka, India, “Tata Hitachi”), which is responsible for sales and servicing of construction machinery and manufacture and sales of components, will start using electric power generated by solar panels installed on the site of its Kharagpur Works in West Bengal State.
Through this initiative, from 2019 approximately 7,000 MWh per year, equivalent to about 30% of the power consumption of Kharagpur Works, will be provided by environment-friendly renewable energy. This is expected to bring a CO2 reduction of 3,500 tons per year, with annual power costs falling by 14.7 million Indian rupees (approximately23 million yen).
In addition, LED lighting has already been installed in the Kharagpur Works administration building. Compared to conventional fluorescent lighting, power consumption can be reduced by approximately76 MWh per year, resulting in an annual power cost reduction of about 680,000 Indian rupees (approximately 1 million yen).
Since March 2018, Tata Hitachi has been using electric power generated by solar panels installed outside the site of its Dharwad Works through a power purchase agreement supported byKarnataka State’s open access system*. 7,500 MWh per year, equivalent to approximately75% of the power consumption of Dharwad Works, is now provided by environment-friendly renewable energy.
India’s economic development has been accompanied by a demand for power that is growing at an average rate of 4.9% per year. India is expected to overtake the EU by 2025 to become the third largest power consuming nation after China and the U.S., but as matters stand now, the power supply is unstable due to the chronic lack of supply capability. In this context, the Indian government has set a target of 175 GW (100 GW from photovoltaics and solar power, 60 GW from wind power, 10 GW from biomass and 5 GW from small hydro power) by 2022 as a plan for promoting introduction of renewable energy. Through this initiative and in support of the government’s plan, Tata Hitachi will work towards stabilization of the power supply, reduction of power costs and reduction of CO2 emissions.
Together with Hitachi Ltd., the Hitachi Construction Machinery Group is engaged in energy-saving activities at five of its plants in Ibaraki Prefecture, Japan. On January 30, the group received the Chairman’s Prize, the Energy Conservation Center, Japan in the Successful Case of Energy Conservation Category of the FY2018 Grand Prize for Excellence in Energy Efficiency and Conservation.
In addition, the entire group is working towards energy conservation in various manufacturing
processes. The current initiative is part of this effort.
*Third parties such as power generators by natural energy and power suppliers have priority to use or have
access to the transmission and distribution systems in certain areas.

Organic Waste Water Converter (OWC)
Composting is the process of controlled aerobic decomposition of biodegradable organic matter. During composting, microorganisms break down organic matter into carbon dioxide, water, heat, and compost. OWC converts the organic waste into odourless, precompost manure in 15-20 minutes. The shredder reduces the organic waste into the optimum particle size for composting. Then it is mixed and blended for a homogeneous mixture and is converted into pre compost manure in 20 minutes.
The pre compost manure is then fed into aerated compost blocks and left for 20 days. The compost blocks are specially designed for the pre compost manure to have proper aeration and suitable environment to mature. At the end, we get manure rich in nutrient derived out of Wasted Organics.

What is an organic waste?
Organic wastes contain materials which originated from living organisms. Organic waste is the waste generated from the materials such as waste/left over food, rotten fruits, vegetables, meat and bones, garden waste such as dry leafs, woods, waste paper.
Why Organic waste harmful?
Burying organic waste in landfill is harmful because when organic waste is dumped in landfill, it undergoes anaerobic decomposition; due to the lack of oxygen it generates methane. When released into the atmosphere, methane is 20 times more potent a greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide.
Way to convert organic waste into compost?
Organic Waste converter: It is a machine that converts organic waste into compost that can be used as fertilizer.
How does composting take place in machine?
Composting is a way to treat solid waste so that microorganisms break down the organic material, helping along the natural process of decay until it can be safely handled, stored and applied to the environment. Machine helps the process to get faster with proper handling of suitable environmental conditions inside the machine. It monitors the temperature and humidity and maintains when it gets high or low. The decomposition process is aided by shredding the plant matter, adding water and ensuring proper aeration by regularly turning the mixture. Worms and fungi further break up the material. Aerobic Bacteria requiring oxygen to function and fungi manage the chemical process by converting the inputs into heat, carbon dioxide and ammonium. The ammonium (NH4) is the form of nitrogen used by plants. Finally produced Compost is rich in nutrients. It is used in gardens, landscaping, horticulture, and agriculture. The compost itself is beneficial for the land in many ways, including as a soil conditioner, a fertilizer, addition of vital humus or humic acids, and as a natural pesticide for soil. In ecosystems, compost is useful for erosion control, land and stream reclamation, wetland construction.

• Villas
• Resorts
• Marriage Halls
