The Commitment Forward

With bioenergy positioned at the intersection of clean energy, climate action, and waste circularity, RRIL is scaling operations to become a national leader in CBG production. The Company’s future roadmap includes new project sites, feedstock partnerships with urban local bodies and agri-cooperatives, and adoption of advanced anaerobic digestion and biogas purification technologies.

By transforming waste into a high-value renewable fuel, RRIL is turning vision into impact - delivering clean air, clean energy, and cleaner cities for generations to come.

ESG & Community Impact: Empowering Progress, Sustaining the Future

At RRIL, Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles are not peripheral - they form the core of the Company’s purpose-led strategy. Through the twin engines of solar energy and Compressed Biogas (CBG), the Company is delivering real-world environmental gains, creating dignified green jobs, empowering communities in underserved areas, and establishing robust systems of ethical governance. This integrated approach to ESG is shaping a cleaner, more equitable, and energy- independent India.

Environmental Stewardship

Clean Energy in Remote Regions

The decentralized solar installations provide reliable, grid-independent electricity to rural and remote communities - places where traditional power infrastructure is economically or logistically unfeasible. This electrification enables better access to education, healthcare, and economic opportunities, transforming quality of life.

Cleaner Jobs, Safer Workers

The solar and bioenergy sectors create thousands of green jobs across installation, operations, and maintenance, which are inherently safer and less polluting than coal mining or fossil fuel extraction. These roles minimize workers’ exposure to hazardous particulate matter and toxic emissions.

Emission Footprint Comparison (Per 1 MWh of Energy Produced)

Solar PV emits 95% less GHGs than coal over its lifecycle and consumes 30–40 times less water per MWh. It also dramatically reduces particulate matter (PM2.5) emissions, helping mitigate urban air pollution and improve respiratory health.

CBG: A Circular, low Carbon Fuel

CBG offers remarkable environmental co-benefits:

Low Carbon Potential: Since it captures methane from biogenic sources - agricultural waste, press mud, food industry and MSW - CBG can result in a net reduction in atmospheric carbon.

MSW Management:With RRIL’s growing CBG footprint, the Company will be diverting tonnes of organic municipal waste per day from open dumping, easing landfill pressure and improving public hygiene.

Avoided Methane Emissions:Methane that would otherwise escape from landfills (a gas 28x more potent than CO₂) is captured and converted into fuel.

Water Use Efficiency:CBG production has a relatively low water footprint compared to fossil-fuel processing.

The Road Ahead

As RRIL scale to 45 MT/day CBG production capacity and expand solar operations across new regions, the ESG impact will grow exponentially.

One of the by-products, decomposed feed will be introduced as a product Fermented Organic Manure (FOM) ensuring circularity and enhancing agricultural productivity, simultaneously enriching the surroundings environment. The Company is planning to marketize the product after proper processing as a bio fertilizer which will again help in reducing carbon footprint by avoiding methane emission from Chemical fertilizer. It will promote organic farming and reducing import dependency on imported fertilizer and achieving the goal of Viksit Bharat.

Social Impact

Inclusive Development

The solar and CBG operations prioritize local sourcing of manpower and engage rural and semi- urban communities, stimulating inclusive economic growth and skill development in underserved areas.

Health

By reducing air pollution and promoting clean cooking and transport fuels, contributing to lower incidence of respiratory illnesses and improve urban air quality.

Energy Equity

Providing clean energy access in off- grid zones helps bridge India’s urban- rural energy divide, promoting equity and dignity through electrification.

CBG offers remarkable environmental co-benefits:

SunEdison was an integral part of India’s first canal top solar power plant at Chandrasan village about 45 km from Ahmedabad. The power plant was set up on a 750 metre stretch of the Sanand branch canal.

The impact

The plant was set up to generate 1.6 million units of clean electricity per year.
It also prevents evaporation of 90 lakh litres of water per year from the canal. Solar Panels mounted on a canal top are cooler than their land-based counterparts. This resulted in the temperature of the cells being cooler by 10 percent. Due to this, the energy generated by the plant was significantly higher than a ground-mounted solar PV plant.
In an arid land like Gujarat where sunlight is aplenty and water scarce, a project like this created a tremendous amount of social impact in terms of conservation and utilization of natural resources.
