SAIL's Bhilai plant installs new system to cut emissions, boost efficiency
Safety and monitoring systems have been deployed for safe and efficient COG operations, said BSP officials
Raipur
SAIL 's Bhilai Steel Plant (BSP) has achieved a milestone in its targets for energy efficiency and emissions by commissioning a Coke Oven Gas (COG) Injection System, said a statement.
The system will use coke oven gas, which has 'significant calorific value', as an auxiliary fuel in producing sinter, a mass of fine iron ore dust and other materials fused together as part of steelmaking.
According to the BSP officials, injecting COG into a sinter bed reduces around 2 kg of coke per tonne of sinter produced. It improves sinter quality and cuts carbon emissions by an estimated 12,700

Philippine GDP growth likely to reach 5.5% in 2025, 5.8% in 2026: IMF
The Philippine economy remains resilient despite the challenges of an external environment characterised by heightened policy uncertainty, and economic growth is expected to reach 5.5 per cent this year, before accelerating to 5.8 per cent next year, according to the International Monetary Fund (IMF), which recently said downside risks to the economy warrant close attention. The country's central bank (BSP) has successfully addressed inflationary pressures, supported by concerted measures of the government to reduce food prices. With inflation and inflation expectations returning to target, BSP has room to continue to reduce the policy rate, it noted after an IMF team led by Elif Arbatli Saxegaard held meetings in Manila during May 14-20 to discuss recent economic and financial developments and the outlook for the economy. The prospect of further monetary easing, and lower food prices will underpin the recovery in consumption, it observed in a release. The Philippine economy remains resilient despite the challenges of an external environment characterised by heightened policy uncertainty, and growth is expected to reach 5.5 per cent this year, before accelerating to 5.8 per cent next year, the IMF has said. Downside risks to the economy need close attention, it noted. Adhering to the medium-term fiscal consolidation path remains critical, it said. Adhering to the medium-term fiscal consolidation path remains critical and requires sustained and durable efforts to mobilize tax revenues and ensure efficiency of government spending, the IMF noted. 'Consumption is expected to be supported by monetary policy easing amid lower inflation, and low unemployment; however, private investment is projected to remain subdued. Risks are tilted to the downside, driven mainly by external factors but also by the weaker-than-expected outturn in the first quarter,' Saxegaard said. 'The current account deficit is projected to narrow from 3.8 per cent of GDP [gross domestic product] in 2024 to 3.4 per cent of GDP in 2025, supported by weaker commodity prices. Reserves have declined since peaking in September 2024 but remain adequate at $105.3 billion as of April 2025,' she added. Fibre2Fashion News Desk (DS)

The company added: 'Players will gain immediate access to all post-launch downloadable content at no additional cost — this includes the bonus Campaign act, all multiplayer maps and modes, and a full roster of classic characters and cosmetics unlockable through progression.' Gears of War: Reloaded – What's new The remaster has been re-engineered to provide a visually immersive and seamless experience across platforms. The game supports 4K resolution at 60 FPS in Campaign mode, and up to 120 FPS in Multiplayer. Visual upgrades include High Dynamic Range (HDR), Dolby Vision, remastered 4K textures, improved shadows and reflections, and enhanced post-processing effects.

Gears of War: Reloaded – Plot summary Set on the war-torn planet of Sera, the story unfolds after the discovery of Imulsion, a powerful energy source that triggered economic turmoil and a global conflict known as the Pendulum Wars, which lasted 79 years. Amid this unrest, the Coalition of Ordered Governments (COG), a once-obscure political philosophy, gained influence. Its military unit, the "Gears," rose to prominence after Emergence Day (E-Day), when a subterranean species called the Locust launched a devastating assault on humanity. Following the chaos of E-Day, the COG imposed martial law and led the resistance. One year later, in a desperate move, it deployed the Hammer of Dawn—a satellite-powered weapon—on its own cities to halt the Locust advance. Survivors were evacuated to the Jacinto Plateau, the only region immune to Locust tunnelling.
