Founded in 2018 by Viraraghavan Sankaran, GreenJoules is making waves in the renewable energy sector with its innovative approach to biofuels, designed to mitigate the environmental impact of traditional fossil fuels.
Based in Pune, the startup is at the forefront of creating a circular economy through green chemistry, transforming agricultural and agro-industrial waste into high-quality biofuels.
Addressing the Climate Crisis
As global warming and climate change pose significant threats to our environment, the need for sustainable energy solutions has never been more urgent.
Traditional fossil fuels continue to dominate energy consumption, leading to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, pollution, and hazardous waste generation.
GreenJoules addresses these challenges by manufacturing next-generation “drop-in” biofuels that meet the performance standards of fossil fuels like diesel and LPG.
The flagship product, Abhilasha Liquid Fuel, has been rigorously tested and validated by the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Chennai, proving its equivalency to fossil diesel in engine performance.
Abhilasha Liquid Fuel not only meets stringent BIS VI and Euro VI standards but also boasts ultra-low sulfur content, reducing harmful emissions like sulfur oxides—significantly contributing to cleaner air and minimizing acid rain.
A Sustainable Solution
GreenJoules’ products are not only effective in reducing carbon emissions but also leverage waste materials.
By utilizing renewable carbon wastes such as agro and agro-industrial wastes—unlike many conventional biofuels that depend on food crops—GreenJoules creates a sustainable, waste-to-energy process.
This approach generates no hazardous waste, with all by-products consumed across various applications, reinforcing their commitment to a circular economy.
The company’s manufacturing process exemplifies eco-responsibility, ensuring that every step—from production to usage—considers its environmental impact.
Innovation at the Core
GreenJoules’ commitment to innovation is evident in their research and development efforts. Their team is continually exploring new agricultural waste sources to enhance their product line.
In addition to the flagship liquid fuel, they are also in commercial development stages for Abhilasha Gaseous Fuel, which offers a cleaner alternative to LPG, further diversifying their offerings.
The startup’s ethos is built on core values of safety, integrity, innovation, customer obsession, and partnership.
By integrating these principles into their operations, GreenJoules not only adheres to rigorous safety and quality standards but also assists companies in achieving their sustainability goals, thereby creating a broader impact on the industry.
A Vision for the Future
GreenJoules envisions a world where sustainable energy is accessible to all.
Their mission—“Remodel waste to power the future”—reflects a determination to prioritize the environment in energy production.
As the demand for cleaner energy sources grows, GreenJoules aims to position itself as a global leader in the sustainable energy sector.
Their ambition includes not only producing carbon-neutral products but also striving for carbon-positive solutions that contribute positively to the planet.
