Emami Biotech Limited is a part of the Rs. 3000 crore Emami Group of Companies based in Kolkata, India. Emami Group is spearheading the process of developing Haldia in West Bengal as India’s biodiesel hub through Emami Biotech Limited. Set up in 2006, Emami Biotech Ltd.is a friend of the earth.
The company has set up a state-of-the-art 300 tonnes per day multi-feed stock bio-diesel plant at Haldia, the largest and the first of its kind in eastern India, at a cost of Rs. 150 crore, in technical collaboration with Desmet Ballestra of Italy. Conforming to stringent European Union Standard (EN14214) norms as well as the benchmark standards set by BIS (Bureau of Indian Standards), Emami’s biodiesel promises to fulfill the energy needs of the country and also protect the environment.
The biodiesel can be blended with conventional diesel without modifying engines. With increasing economic activity and global warming continuing to haunt human civilization, Emami Biotech Limited faces the challenge of protecting the planet from the perils of growth. Determined to give greener substitutes for petroleum derivatives and a new lease of life to the choked arteries of man and nature alike, the company inspires optimism on what the future can be. An additional amount of Rs 100 crore has also been spent at the same facility for producing edible oil of 3 lakh tpa capacity.
We at Emami Biotech Limited, an Emami Group Company, have committed ourselves to protecting the environment by providing viable and eco-friendly alternatives to petro-diesel. We have already commissioned our 300 tonnes per day state-of-the art multi feed stock biodiesel plant in Haldia.
The biodiesel plant has been set up in technical collaboration with M/s Desmet Ballestra, an internationally reputed Italian company.
The plant is capable of manufacturing biodiesel conforming to the standards of European Union (EN14214) and Bureau of Indian Standard (BIS).
We have taken up backward-integration of biodiesel and also the plantation of Jatropha both in India and Africa with an expected coverage of around 1,00,000 acre by 2010.
