why biofuel?

Biofuel is the future of clean energy — a sustainable alternative that reduces pollution, cuts dependency on fossil imports, and empowers our farmers by turning agricultural waste into valuable fuel.

Environmental Sustainability

Biofuels are a sustainable alternative to fossil fuels. They are derived from organic matter such as agricultural waste, plant materials, and used oils, and they emit significantly less carbon dioxide when burned. This helps reduce greenhouse gas emissions, air pollution, and the country’s overall carbon footprint.

India’s Import Dependency

India imports over 80% of its crude oil, spending billions in foreign exchange annually. This dependency leaves the country vulnerable to global price fluctuations and geopolitical tensions. Biofuels can be produced domestically, thereby reducing reliance on international markets and enhancing energy security.

Empowering Farmers

Biofuel production opens up new income streams for farmers by purchasing agricultural residues and non-edible oilseeds, which would otherwise go to waste. This creates a circular economy where farmers become key contributors to the energy sector, leading to rural upliftment and sustainable livelihoods.

Supporting New India

As India aims to become a $5 trillion economy, transitioning to cleaner energy sources is vital for sustainable development. Biofuels support this transition by offering clean, affordable, and scalable energy alternatives, aligned with India’s climate goals under the Paris Agreement and the National Bio-Energy Mission.
