Guava seeds, which are usually discarded as waste, are being used to produce biodiesel and biomass by Coimbatore-based start-up Buyofuel. 

Key Highlights:

  • These produce biodiesel an eco-friendly alternative to diesel fuel, as guava seeds contain about 15-20% oil.
    • Biodiesel is a renewable, biodegradable, and clean-burning liquid fuel that can be used in diesel engines.
  • The remaining seed of guava, which is rich in fibres, is used as biomass for industrial purposes in boilers and heating appliances.
  • Buyofuel promotes sustainable farming and processing, reducing agricultural wasted outputs with no contamination processes.
