How it works

What the harvest leaves is bought from farmers, pressed into pellets and burnt in place of coal.

  1. The harvest has more to give. The grain goes to market. The husk, the shell and the straw come to us, and the farmer is paid for them.

    • Rice husk Kharif harvest
    • Wheat straw Rabi harvest
    • Paddy straw Kharif harvest
    • Mustard husk Rabi harvest
    • Soybean husk Kharif harvest
    • Groundnut shell Kharif and rabi harvests
    • Cotton stalk Kharif harvest

  2. A fuel that behaves. Pressed dense and dry, it burns in a boiler as evenly as coal.

  3. Coal, replaced. Boilers and furnaces built for coal and firewood can run on it instead.

    Try a sample first.
    Burn a sample in your own boiler before you order.
    Keep them dry.
    Pellets take up water and crumble when wet, so store them under cover.
    Compare the heat, not only the price.
    Calorific value tells you the heat a kilogram gives. Weigh it with the price against what you burn now.
    Fire in a furnace, the flames close up.

What every harvest leaves

Husk, shells and straw are left after every harvest. Burnt in the field they are smoke; sold, they are fuel.

  • 75.45 crore tonnesCrop residue left by India's harvests each year
  • 22.85 crore tonnesLeft over once fodder, cooking fuel and manure are taken: the share that can become fuel
  • 3 kgParticulate matter from each tonne of paddy straw burnt in the field, with 60 kg of carbon monoxide
