combining renewable energy innovation, women’s empowerment, environmental protection.

Impact

  • Converts abundant natural waste—grass, coconut leaves, and invasive aquatic plants—into clean, reliable biomass fuel.

  • Creates large-scale rural employment through a women-led model, making thousands of women financially independent.

  • Reduces carbon emissions by replacing coal and fossil fuels with sustainable biomass pellets.

  • Supports India’s Net-Zero 2070 and national clean energy missions.

  • Restores degraded ecosystems by removing invasive species and promoting responsible resource use.

  • Strengthens India’s energy security with year-round biomass pellet production and supply for households, commercial users, and power plants.

  • Advances research in carbon capture and storage (CCS) to accelerate India’s climate goals.

  • Promotes economic development in rural communities through decentralized biomass collection and value addition.

  • Builds a scalable biofuel supply chain capable of meeting 10% of India’s biomass fuel requirement.
