IndianOil, EverEnviro join hands for biofuel push with 50:50 JV


In a significant step towards promoting sustainable energy, IndianOil has entered into a joint venture with EverEnviro Resource Management Pvt. Ltd. to boost biofuel adoption in India. The 50:50 partnership will focus on expanding the use of Compressed Biogas (CBG), a cleaner and renewable energy source derived from organic waste.

The agreement was signed by Santanu Gupta, Executive Director (Alternative Energy), IndianOil, and Mahesh Girdhar, MD & CEO of EverEnviro, in the presence of senior officials from both organizations. The joint venture will work towards setting up CBG plants across the country, contributing to India’s Net Zero goals.

This venture is part of IndianOil’s broader low-carbon development strategy. By integrating advanced biogas technologies, the JV aims to convert organic waste into CBG, reducing greenhouse gas emissions and providing a sustainable alternative to traditional fossil fuels.

“CBG offers numerous benefits to India and the environment. It promotes energy security by reducing dependence on imported fossil fuels and supports the rural economy by creating local employment opportunities,” a statement reads. The initiative aligns with IndianOil’s commitment to achieving operational net zero by 2046. The adoption of biofuels is seen as a crucial step towards meeting India's national goal of becoming net zero by 2070.
