Taking another leap towards making cleaner energy sources available, affordable and accessible for all, Buyofuel has entered a partnership with Sai Vasudev Briquettes. Under this partnership, the company, which is India’s leading online marketplace for green fuels, will make environment-friendly biomass briquettes available for buying and selling on its platform. Notably, Buyofuel has built a vast network of raw material aggregators, biofuel manufacturers, fuel consumers and waste generators to bridge the demand and supply gap. With this partnership, it aims to benefit its partners by making trading of briquettes easier and hassle-free. This step is further aligned with its goal of replacing conventional energy sources, utilizing waste materials, accelerating decarbonisation and building a circular economy.
According to Buyofuel, the switch to cleaner energy is gaining pace as industries and organizations are putting sustainability at the core of their strategies. This transition has heightened the demand for biomass briquettes, which are great replacements for conventional, carbon-emitting fuels to reduce greenhouse gases emissions and support the larger goal of achieving sustainable development goals. The partnership will make briquettes more accessible and will accelerate replacement of fossil fuels. This will also pave the way for unconventional raw materials like dust generated from coir manufacturing, garden waste, etc. to become a part of the biofuel value chain.
Speaking about the partnership, CEO of Buyofuel, Kishan Karunakaran said, “Our partnership with Sai Vasudev Briquettes helps us inch closer to our objective of making green fuel available, accessible and affordable for all. This also gives us an opportunity to partner with like-minded businesses who are making result-oriented efforts towards achieving common goals like accelerating decarbonisation and building a sustainable future. We are confident that this partnership will create a meaningful social impact, empower stakeholders, and most importantly accelerate adoption of clean energy sources by replacing fossil fuels.”
The importance of briquettes in combating climate change has been widely acknowledged as they are more efficient, cleaner, cheaper and eco-friendly than conventional fuels like coal or firewood. Since briquettes are made of organic residues, their carbon emissions are much lower than fossil fuels. These are great choices to utilize agricultural waste collected from farms, gardens and other agricultural places, reduce the amount of waste going into landfills and stubble, and empower farmers with additional sources of income generation.
Also, this partnership is a reflection of the company’s support to emerging and innovative entrepreneurs and farmers who are working and contributing towards building a better environment. Buyofuel will act as a direct link between the manufacturer, raw materials providers for the production of briquettes, sellers and the customers, thus benefiting all stakeholders. With this, it will ensure a regular supply of raw materials for manufacturing briquettes, in addition to ensuring regular and direct market access. This will encourage manufacturers like Sai Vasudev Briquettes to focus on their core area of manufacturing, without having to worry about procuring the raw materials for production. The step will further make it easier to take actions that contribute to the economy through productive interaction between businesses and individuals who want to contribute more towards a better environment.
