Pankaj Patel, chief of the Abellon CleanEnergy, Gujarat received the International Award and cash prize of 20,000 pounds on behalf of the company for producing biomass pellets from crop waste to fuel Gujarat's industries and for giving farmers a market for their waste products.
Sarah Butler-Sloss, founder director of the Ashden Awards and chair of the judging panel, said: "Abellon has devised a system that relies on a local clean source of energy to reduce Co2, by replacing dirty industrial fuels, drive economic growth, improve crops yields and support farmers."
"This is a showcase example of how the use of local, clean energy can provide effective and commercially viable solutions to local challenges. We hope others can learn from this exciting and successful initiative," Butler-Sloss said.
Abellon currently produces over 65,000 tonnes of biomass pellets a year and aims to open two more pellet plants in Gujarat in the next five years, trebling its production and expanding operations into international markets.
