In April 2023, an Indian plant began converting 2,000 metric tons of cashew residues monthly into marine fuel. Now, the refined oil has passed real-world ocean trials, linking a village waste stream to global shipping

A plant near Hebri, India, converts cashew processing waste into biofuel and biochar. This facility now processes nearly two thousand metric tons of cashew residues monthly. The resulting biofuel can power industries like shipping and heavy manufacturing. Biochar produced also helps improve soil quality and retain moisture effectively.
