Frequently Asked Questions

What is JRK ENERGY’s technology all about?

We have developed a patented Fast Pyrolysis (Continuous) System that converts any dry agro waste into multiple high-value products:

  • Bio Oil & LDO: Used by industries as a substitute for furnace oil or pet coke
  • Activated Charcoal: With 55+ uses across agriculture, cosmetics, pharma & water treatment
  • Syngas: Used to power the plant itself or for local energy needs
  • Organic Pesticides: Direct use by farmers

It’s a closed-loop, zero-waste system, designed for maximum yield, fast ROI & rural job creation.

Is investing in a fast pyrolysis plant profitable?

Yes.
Our typical 40 TPD plant recovers its entire cost in under 2 years, with annual turnovers of ₹35-40 crore, driven by sales of bio oil, LDO & activated charcoal.

We also have 10 TPD modular options, perfect for FPOs & local co-operatives, offering similar fast ROI models.

How does this help reduce pollution & improve rural economies?
  • Farmers currently burn ~100 million tonnes of agro waste in fields, causing major pollution.
  • With our model, they instead sell that biomass for ₹3000-5000 per ton, earning additional income.
  • Each plant employs ~60 people directly & 100+ indirectly, boosting local jobs.

By processing this biomass, we also cut CO₂ & particulate emissions, improving health & air quality.

What products do you sell? Who buys them?
  • We produce & supply:

    Product

    Buyers / Use Cases

    Bio Oil & LDO

    Cement kilns, foundries, glass, ceramic, thermal plants, small diesel engines

    Activated Charcoal

    Soil & water treatment companies, cosmetic brands, pharma & livestock industries

    Syngas

    Used internally or sold for local energy

    Organic Pesticides

    Farmers, organic input dealers

Is this eligible under CSR in India?

Absolutely.
Your investment under CSR can directly contribute to:

  • Employment & skill development in rural areas (SDG 8)
  • Environmental protection by reducing agro burning (SDG 13 & 15)
  • Sustainable agriculture by using biochar & organic pesticides (SDG 12)

We also provide impact reports & testimonials that can be used in your annual CSR disclosures.

What’s the expected payback period?
  • For a 40 TPD plant: ~2 years
  • For a 10 TPD local plant: ~2-2.5 years

This is achieved through multi-product sales & extremely low processing costs (~₹12-15/kg vs selling products at ₹40-70/kg).

How is JRKENERGY’s process different from traditional pyrolysis?

Is this scalable across India?

Yes.
Our system is designed to handle local biomass — from bamboo in Maharashtra, rice husk in Punjab, to cotton stalks in Telangana — making it perfect for decentralized rural deployment.
