This usher in a new era of green diesel with a positive impact on the environment and economy. We are excited to work with Greenjoules to bring this novel green diesel to market.”

Adding to the statement, Mr. S Viraraghavan, Founder and Director of Greenjoules Pvt Ltd said, “Investment by Blue Ashva is a big milestone for Greenjoules. We can now focus not only on growing our current product range but also on developing a portfolio range of high-energy-density liquid and gaseous biofuels.  It is also an opportunity to commercialize such fuels manufactured from the extraordinary range of agro wastes available in India.”
