Four lines that share one counterparty book

Biomass is running today. The other three are planned, and they are planned on purpose: a business that sells us residue is the same one that will buy our fuel, sit in a carbon programme and report through us to a listed customer.

Biomass

Crop residue from the field to an industrial boiler.

Paddy and wheat residue has a short window. Cut too late or left through rain and it picks up soil and moisture that no buyer will pay for. We bale it off the field within days of harvest, weigh it, probe it for moisture and grade it before it moves.

Lots are stored at Masodha and Rauzagaon in Ayodhya and at Khurja — under cover where we can, because an uncovered stack loses two to four percent of its mass over a season and a covered one loses well under one.

We sell it as boiler fuel to thermal power stations, compressed biogas plants and industrial boilers. Every consignment carries its weighbridge tickets and, where the buyer requires it, an independent laboratory result.

Crops handled: Paddy straw, wheat straw, cane trash, rice husk, mustard stalk, sawdust, press mud
Grading: Moisture, soil contamination and calorific value at intake
Traceability: Every lot carries a tag a buyer can verify without an account

Used cooking oil

Collected on a schedule, tested, and sold into the fuel chain.

Kitchens produce used cooking oil steadily and have nowhere sensible to put it. Left too long it degrades, and an informal buyer takes it back into the food chain, which is what the RUCO programme exists to stop.

We run scheduled routes from restaurants, hotels, canteens and food processors. Each collection is tested for free fatty acid and moisture on the spot, sealed, and recorded against the producer's FBO licence.

Consolidated tanker loads go to refineries producing biodiesel and sustainable aviation fuel, with a blended quality figure weighted by volume rather than averaged across drums.

Testing: Free fatty acid and moisture at every collection
Compliance: RUCO records tied to the producer's FBO licence
Chain of custody: Sealed containers, numbered, photographed

Carbon

Grouped programmes for units too small to register alone.

A single rice mill switching its boiler from coal to briquette might abate fifteen hundred tonnes of CO2e a year. That is real, but it will not carry the cost of validating and verifying a standalone project.

We group these units under one methodology and one registry filing. Each participant keeps a contracted share of every credit issued, set before they join and visible to them throughout.

We screen honestly and early. If a business is an obligated entity, or has already sold renewable energy certificates for the same electricity, those reductions are spoken for and we say so in the first meeting rather than after a site visit.

Activities: Boiler fuel switch, rooftop solar, energy efficiency, waste heat, biogas, biochar
Registries: CCTS, Gold Standard, Verra, Puro.earth, Isometric
Method: Emission factors and inputs stored with every computed figure, so a 2026 number can still be explained in 2030

Scope 3 data

Value chain emissions data a listed company can actually assure.

BRSR Core requires listed companies to report specified indicators for the value chain partners making up the bulk of their purchases. Those partners are usually MSMEs with no ESG function and no way to produce the numbers.

We collect the data from them, because we are already in their yard every week for something else. Completeness is measured against what was actually asked for, and an incomplete return is sent back rather than passed on to fail at assurance.

Coverage is reported the way the standard measures it: as a share of procurement value, not a count of suppliers.

Frameworks: BRSR Core, GRI, CDP
Data points: Scope 1, Scope 2 location and market, upstream Scope 3, energy, renewable share, water, waste
Output: An assurance-ready extract with evidence and assurance status per supplier

How a load actually moves

Six steps between a field in Ayodhya and an invoice you can check. Each one is recorded — the lot, the grade, the lab result, the weighbridge ticket — because a fuel supplier who cannot show you those is asking you to take the grade on trust.

Off the field

We bale residue where it lies, after harvest and before the window for the next sowing closes. The farmer is paid per acre and the field is cleared — which is the alternative to burning it.

Graded at intake

Every lot is weighed and scored at the depot: moisture, ash, soil pickup, days lying in the field, rain since cutting. Those inputs are stored with the result, not just the number they produced.

Stored dry

Covered storage at Masodha, Rauzagaon and Khurja. Wet biomass loses calorific value and gains weight you would otherwise be paying for, so how it is kept is part of what you are buying.

Tested before dispatch

Calorific value is confirmed by lab before a consignment leaves. The certificate travels with the load, so a disputed delivery has evidence attached rather than two opinions.

Weighed at both ends

A weighbridge ticket is recorded against the consignment. You pay for mass that was measured, not for a figure agreed in advance and never checked.

Invoiced against the ticket

One counterparty, one contract, one invoice — priced on the tested calorific value and the weighed tonnage, both of which you can see for yourself.

What we measure, and why it is on your invoice

Solid fuel is usually sold on a grade nobody can check. These four numbers are recorded for every lot, travel with the consignment, and are what the price is calculated from.

Measurement	Unit	Why it matters to you
Gross calorific value	kcal/kg	What the fuel is actually worth to your boiler, and what the price is set against. Predicted at intake from a documented model, then confirmed by lab.
Moisture	% as received	Water carries no energy and is the most common way solid fuel is quietly overpriced. Measured on every lot, not sampled per truck.
Ash	% as received	Inert mass that leaves your grate as residue. Paddy straw runs high naturally; soil picked up during baling makes it worse, so it is scored separately.
Net weight	kg	From a weighbridge ticket recorded against the consignment, not an estimate from bale count.

Every lot carries a certificate that can be opened by scanning its tag — no account needed, so the person receiving a trailer at your gate can check it without ringing anyone. Ask for a price and the calorific band for your residue is shown before you commit to anything.

Most of our counterparties touch more than one of these

The cost of finding and earning the trust of a rice mill in Ayodhya is paid once.
