Carbon Clean and Veolia to develop biofuels projects in India

Green energy biofuels

Carbon Clean, a leader in low-cost carbon dioxide capture and separation technology, has partnered with Veolia, the global leader for optimised resource management, to develop green projects in India.

Veolia Carbon Clean, the new company, will first develop two carbon capture utilisation and storage (CCUS) and compressed biogas (CBG) projects in India, utilising Carbon Clean’s CDRMax and MethPure technologies.

CCUS and biofuels (including CBG) are both important components of India’s future green energy mix, as outlined in the Government’s 2018 Sustainable Alternative Towards Affordable Transportation (SATAT) scheme. SATAT aims to produce 15 million tonnes of CBG from 5,000 plants by 2023, along with generating 50 million tonnes of bio-manure.

Through domestic production of biofuels, the scheme aims to help India to reduce imports, generate employment, and reduce pollution. This partnership between Veolia and Carbon Clean is an important step in the right direction.

Veolia Carbon Clean will finance, design, build and operate these projects, and will find opportunities for other projects in this country.

Guillaume Dourdin, CEO Veolia India, said: “Through Veolia Carbon Clean we look forward to creating resilient projects which will help companies to lower their carbon emissions in a sustainable manner and thus contribute towards reducing pollution levels in the country.”

Aniruddha Sharma, CEO of Carbon Clean, said: “Veolia’s ambition to become the world champion in ecological transformation, combined with our technological expertise, will allow us to fast-track multiple green projects in India.”

Veolia Carbon Clean will consider proposals for setting up new green projects in India, including those involving CO2 capture, that comply with Investment Criteria.
