The waste-to-energy industry plays a crucial role in addressing the growing challenges of waste management and environmental sustainability, offering innovative solutions to scientifically treat and dispose of waste while deriving clean energy from therein. As urban waste rises, waste-to-energy plants provide a proven, cleaner, more efficient alternative to traditional disposal methods like landfills. It also minimizes the release of methane, a potent greenhouse gas into the atmosphere from landfills. JFE India, a subsidiary of JFE Engineering Corporation under the umbrella Corporation JFE Holdings Inc., (a Global Fortune 500 company), stands at the forefront of India’s clean energy sector. Since its inception in 2011, JFE India has provided end-to-end solutions in Waste to Energy (WtE), Waste Heat Recovery (WHR), and Biomass Power Plants for both domestic and international clients.

Global Leader

Leveraging the JFE Group’s expertise in steel and shipbuilding, JFE Engineering India provides end-to-end services in technology, engineering, manufacturing, supply, construction, and O&M. The firm has addressed critical gaps in the Waste to Energy (WtE) sector by delivering integrated technology and EPC solutions, reducing reliance on consortium models and third party (foreign) expertise. Over the past decade, JFE Engineering India has built a team of 170+ skilled engineers offering

localized, tailored support, thus enhancing stakeholder value and driving progress in waste and renewable energy.

Committed to environmental sustainability, JFE’s WtE plants maximize thermal efficiency and meet strict emissions standards, such as the EU norms adhered to by their latest 500 TPD WtE facility in Bac Ninh, Hanoi. In 2023, the JFE group’s decarbonizing solutions reduced 11.5 million Tonnes of CO2 emissions, underscoring its dedication to innovation, societal advancement, and environmentally conscious design.

By combining advanced technology & local expertise, JFE Engineering India is committed to transforming waste management in India, ensuring efficient and eco-friendly solutions & proudly standing by its mission “Foundation of Life - Just for the Earth”

“Our commitment to indigenizing proprietary grate technology reflects our dedication to delivering advanced, locally manufactured solutions. As one of India’s few companies offering air-cooled and water cooled grate bars, we’ve tailored our technology to handle high-calorific-value waste, including (non-hazardous) industrial solid waste. Our furnace design integrates the 3 Ts, namely Time, Temperature, and Turbulence, to effectively minimize the formation of harmful dioxins and furans, thus reducing toxic emissions”, speaks Bhalchandra Kulkarni, Managing Director, JFE Engineering India. Additionally, the firm’s innovative furnace design and High Temperature Air Combustion (HTAC) technologies enable thorough combustion and stable flame generation. They are also able to offer a higher power output by up to 10 percent from the same feed, thereby delivering a robust and feasible technocommercial solution.

Operational Efficiency

JFE Engineering India envisions a future anchored in sustainability and innovation, with initiatives focused on optimizing Waste-to-Energy (WtE) systems, fostering partnerships for a circular economy, and designing projects driven by environmental goals. Key performance indicators (KPIs) are in place to monitor progress on waste diversion rates, energy recovery efficiency, and the overall environmental footprint, ensuring each project aligns with global sustainability benchmarks. These efforts aim to achieve the company’s zero-waste goals and strengthen its role as a leading force in the shift toward a circular economy, fostering sustainable growth and long-term environmental benefits.
