Phase 2 expansion strengthens biofuel adoption, rural supply chains, and India’s clean energy transition
Vihaan Clean & Green Tech Pvt. Ltd. in a significant push towards industrial decarbonisation, has announced the commissioning of 100% biomass-based boiler plant in Gujarat under its Phase 2 expansion.
The facility is expected to reduce nearly 81,000 tonnes of CO₂ emissions annually, marking a major step in scaling sustainable industrial energy systems.
At the core of this development is the use of biofuel derived from agricultural waste, positioning biomass as a reliable alternative to fossil fuels.
The advanced boiler systems convert agri-residue into energy, ensuring continuous steam generation while supporting circular economy practices. This not only reduces emissions but also addresses the growing challenge of agricultural waste management in India.
The project strengthens rural supply chains by sourcing biomass locally, directly benefiting farmers and creating new economic linkages.
In partnership with HyFun Foods, the initiative also aligns with the government’s Atmanirbhar Bharat vision by reducing dependence on imported fuels and promoting indigenous energy solutions.
Vihaan has collaborated with technology providers like Thermax and TOESL to integrate high-efficiency systems based on global standards. This move is particularly timely as global energy markets face disruptions due to geopolitical tensions and supply chain constraints.
Speaking on the development, Managing Director Amit Badlani emphasised that the company’s focus is on building “resilient and future-proof” infrastructure that balances operational reliability with sustainability.
The expansion underscores a broader trend in India’s industrial sector—where biofuel and biomass energy are emerging as critical pillars of the clean energy transition, offering both climate and economic benefits. As industries look to hedge against fuel volatility, models like Vihaan’s biomass-based systems could see wider replication across industrial clusters.
