Sustainability & Impacts
Creating environmental, social, and economic value through renewable energy
Creating environmental, social, and economic value through renewable energy
At Shiv Shanaya Bio Fuels, sustainability is at the core of our business model. We're committed to developing renewable energy solutions that positively impact the environment, strengthen local communities, and contribute to a more sustainable future for all.
Through our innovative approach to bio-CNG production, we're addressing multiple environmental challenges simultaneously: reducing greenhouse gas emissions, managing organic waste, improving soil health, and providing a clean alternative to fossil fuels.
Our sustainability initiatives align with multiple UN Sustainable Development Goals and India's national environmental objectives, demonstrating our commitment to global and local sustainability agendas.
How our bio-CNG production benefits the planet
Our bio-CNG process captures methane that would otherwise escape into the atmosphere. When used as fuel, it emits up to 75% fewer greenhouse gases than petrol or diesel.
We divert thousands of tons of agricultural residues and manure from burning or landfill, turning “waste” into clean energy and reducing pollution.
Bio-CNG burns far cleaner than fossil fuels—cutting particulate matter, NOx, and SOx— for healthier air in both cities and villages.
Our digestate byproduct becomes nutrient-rich organic fertilizer—boosting soil structure, water retention, and microbial life.
Our closed-loop systems recycle up to 70% of process water, and Napier grass needs far less irrigation than other energy crops.
Bio-CNG is fully renewable—our continuous feedstock cycle means endless clean fuel, unlike finite fossil reserves.
How our business model benefits people and communities
Each of our bio-CNG plants creates 20–30 direct jobs and up to 100 indirect jobs in rural areas, providing stable income opportunities in regions that often face underemployment. Roles span agricultural workers to technical specialists.
We partner with hundreds of local farmers who supply Napier grass and other feedstock. This guarantees them a reliable supplemental income—often boosting annual earnings by 15–20%.
Our distributed plants bring bio-CNG closer to rural communities, improving access to clean fuel for cooking, heating, power generation, and transport—reducing reliance on less reliable or more polluting sources.
Through hands-on training in biogas production, maintenance, and sustainable agriculture, we equip employees and community members with transferable technical skills and certifications.
Our business is built on circular economy principles, where waste becomes a valuable resource, and every output has a purpose. This regenerative approach maximizes resource efficiency and minimizes environmental impact.
Agricultural waste and animal dung become valuable feedstock instead of pollution sources.
A single process creates fuel (bio-CNG), fertilizer, and carbon credits.
Digestate returns nutrients to the soil, supporting continued biomass growth.
Production, consumption, and recycling all happen within the same regional ecosystem.
Targets we've set for our continued sustainability journey
Whether you're a business looking to reduce your carbon footprint, a farmer interested in supplying feedstock, or an individual passionate about clean energy, there are many ways to partner with us for a more sustainable future.
