The bioenergy-technology firm GPS Renewables (GPSR) released a new platform ARYA on Friday, 18th November 2022.

GPSR ARYA is a climate infrastructure platform that promotes positive climate change by concentrating on projects like sustainable biodiesel production and industrial decarbonisation.

The platform facilitates the incubation, development, and operation of climate-friendly projects and GPS Renewables tend to execute the projects.

As per the McKinsey Sustainability report, the six industries in India – power, steel, aviation, automobile, cement, and agriculture contribute to 70 percent of the Carbon Dioxide emission into the atmosphere, which makes India the third largest country to emit carbon dioxide all over the world.

The country has pledged to depend on non-fossil sources of fuels to meet 50 percent of its energy requirements to reach the Net Zero goal set by the year 2070. GPSR ARYA wishes to assist the country in reaching the goal by green signalling environment-friendly projects in the future.
