At Aris we have been advocating responsible displacement of Used Cooking Oil (UCO) from the system and believe that the used cooking oil-based biofuel is one of the second-generation biofuels and is considered to have a greater potential to reduce emissions. We hope with this Odyssey our future generation will not only learn but also champion the cause of responsible and sustainable living.”
The Biodisel Odyssey Says Avinash “is a small leap forward toward Green, Clean and Healthy India and the World. The World presently confronted with the crises of fossil fuel depletion and environmental degradation needs fuels of bio-origin as a feasible solution. It ensures good health and welfare of all its 7.9 billion citizens, aiding energy security, climate change mitigation and leading to environmentally sustainable development and has the potential to change the lives of people around the world.
