India is currently dealing with major issues related to energy consumption and waste management. The country consumes over 1000 million metric tons of coal and 290 million metric tons of petroleum products each year, leading to high levels of waste production. This has created a pressing need for sustainable alternatives, with biofuels emerging as a promising solution.

Buyofuel is a pioneering online marketplace in India that connects suppliers of raw materials, biofuel manufacturers, and end consumers. The aim is to promote sustainable energy solutions and create a green economy that benefits both businesses and the environment.
Buyofuel attributes its success to its technological advancements, specifically the full digitalization of B2B transactions and the first of its kind “Buyotrace” system.
