BiofuelCircle is scaling up rural infrastructure in Nagpur, Maharashtra, to promote sustainable biomass aggregation. With eight new warehouses that are located four in Mauda and four in Bhandara, the company aims to aggregate 40,000 metric tonnes (MT) of paddy straw this season.
These warehouses are equipped with advanced machinery like balers and slashers to streamline the collection and processing of agricultural residue. This initiative is expected to generate new income opportunities for farmers while addressing environmental concerns like stubble burning.
Empowering farmers through biomass banks
As part of its outreach, BiofuelCircle launched the Mujbi Biomass Bank near Mauda, with strong support from the local administration. Over 100 farmers attended an event showcasing live demonstrations of agri-waste baling, sparking significant interest in sustainable practices.
The Biomass Bank offers farmers a secure and transparent platform to sell their paddy straw, helping them earn additional income while contributing to environmental sustainability.
Driving a circular economy with technology and campaigns
BiofuelCircle leverages GPS, telematics, and digitally integrated machines to create an efficient biomass supply chain. Its “Parali se Ujjwal Bhavishya” campaign educates farmers on the environmental and economic benefits of selling agricultural residue.
The company plans to launch 50 Biomass Banks across India this year, including 10 in Maharashtra. Each bank is expected to serve over 2,000 farmers, creating new income opportunities for local entrepreneurs and tractor owners.
Through these efforts, BiofuelCircle envisions a circular economy where agricultural waste is transformed into biofuels and other valuable products. This initiative not only addresses stubble burning but also boosts rural economic growth, making sustainability and profitability go hand in hand
