Turning Agricultural Waste into Clean Energy

Our biomass division transforms crop residues and forestry waste into high-value energy products, closing the loop on agricultural by-products.

Feedstock Sources

We source biomass from diverse agricultural and forestry streams across the Kashmir Valley.

🌾

Agricultural Waste

Apple pomace, rice straw and husks, walnut shells, corn stalks, mustard residue, and orchard pruning waste. Over 80,000 tonnes of agri-waste collected annually from our farmer network.

🌲

Forestry Residue

Sustainably sourced sawmill waste, bark, wood chips, and fallen timber. All forestry biomass is certified as sustainably harvested under state forest department guidelines.

🏭

Industrial By-Products

Food processing waste from juice factories, dried fruit units, and grain mills. These high-caloric streams make excellent biomass feedstock with minimal pre-processing.

🌿

Dedicated Energy Crops

Pilot cultivation of fast-growing species like poplar and willow on marginal lands for dedicated biomass supply, supplementing waste-derived feedstock.

Biomass Products

Biomass pellets
Primary Product

Biomass Pellets

Compressed cylindrical fuel pellets with 4,200–4,800 kcal/kg calorific value. Uniform size and low moisture content (below 8%) ensure consistent combustion. Used in industrial boilers, power plants, and as co-firing fuel.

Biomass briquettes
High Demand

Briquettes

High-density blocks produced without binders. Our briquettes offer 3,800–4,200 kcal/kg and burn cleaner than coal. Ideal for brick kilns, tea processing, and institutional heating during Kashmir's harsh winters.

The Waste-to-Wealth Cycle

Our circular model creates economic value at every stage. What was once burned in open fields — causing air pollution and nutrient loss — is now a revenue stream for farmers and a clean energy source for industry.

The Value Chain

⚡ Clean Energy

Each tonne of biomass processed prevents 1.5 tonnes of CO₂ equivalent from open burning while generating ₹3,000–5,000 in farmer income from waste that previously had zero value.

Industrial Use Cases

🏭

Industrial Heating

Replace coal and LPG in boilers for textile mills, food processing plants, and manufacturing units. 30% cost savings over fossil fuels.

Power Generation

Co-firing biomass pellets in thermal plants reduces coal dependency. Our pellets meet IS 17484 standards for power plant specification.

🏠

Institutional Heating

Schools, hospitals, and government buildings in Kashmir use our briquettes for winter heating — cleaner and more affordable than kerosene or LPG.
