Growdiesel Mission Statement

Growdiesel is committed to develop World's natural capital for Sustainable development, Energy independence & Carbon-sequestration that would act as a new engine of growth to evolve a green economy and put the world on road to prosperity again in a more sustainable way.

Growdiesel was launched on July 2^nd, 2001 with a belief that it is possible to transform the future. To take steps and make differences to the lives of millions of people. That is why Growdiesel decided to build such businesses that have deep impact on society and mother earth.

We are a renewable energy exploration and production organization dedicated to the cause of environment, energy & empowerment of masses. The main objective of Growdiesel is to establish a value chain for production of sustainable biofuels from non-food feedstocks like Jatropha, algae and biomass. Growdiesel is engaged in initiation of multiple projects for development of next generation carbon negative Biofuels. We are working on a host of technologies to createGrowdiesel™, a renewable liquid Biobased diesel, similar to fossil diesel. Growdiesel™ can replace fossil/petroleum diesel in existing engines (without any modifications).

The main achievements of Growdiesel include a detailed techno-economic feasibility study cum DPR for Indian Railways to cultivate 40000 Ha of its spare land with Jatropha, convert Jatropha oil to biodiesel & use the biodiesel to run rail engines (estimated cost of project over 2 Billion US$). Growdiesel has successfully discovered high yielding Jatropha variants that grow very fast & produce first crop within one year of planting. Growdiesel has also developed a proprietory catalyst free technology for production of Biodiesel from high ffa multiple feedstocks. Our recent developments include a low cost enclosed Photobioreactor system to produce Algae for Biofuels. Growdiesel is currently working on a project “To convert Sunlight, non-potable water, all kinds of wastes and CO2 to Sustainable carbon negative Growdiesel BioCrude™ that can be converted to high quality liquid biofuels as Hi-cetane Green Diesel and Aviation turbine fuel”. The project has been designed for rapid adoption by farmers and entrepreneurs under the aegis of Growdiesel Mission 2020. Growdiesel Mission 2020 is primarily focussed to develop and deploy economic models with "triple bottom lines"; i.e. each Growdiesel project must have strong inbuilt economic, social, and environmental benefits.
