The Digital Infrastructure Providers Association (DIPA) has added Gruner Renewable Energy as a member to reduce the carbon footprint of India's digital network. The initiative targets the energy intensive telecom sector, where diesel generators are still widely used for power at remote tower sites and fiber nodes. Gruner Renewable Energy specializes in compressed biogas and EPC solutions that convert bio-waste into clean fuel. This partnership aims to shift the industry toward zero-carbon standards and reduce operational reliance on volatile fossil fuel prices through sustainable energy integration.

Replacing diesel gensets at remote sites is a huge win for OpEx, but I wonder about the logistics of biogas delivery to rural towers. Is this about on-site generation or a fuel swap for existing engines?

The real hurdle will be the procurement rules under National Broadband Mission 2.0. If the policy doesn't incentivize the higher upfront cost of biogas infrastructure, these will just stay as pilot projects.

Interesting move. Telecom is a massive emitter because of those remote sites. Moving from diesel to compressed biogas is a practical step for decarbonization if they can scale the supply chain.
