Praj Industries and Gevo have signed a partnership to scale Gevo's Bio-IBA technology for diesel blending in India. Praj gets exclusive rights to commercialize the technology in the Indian market, targeting heavy-fuel sectors like transport, agriculture, mining, and construction. The idea is to introduce renewable carbon into existing diesel use without requiring major changes to engines or infrastructure. No specific investment or capacity targets were disclosed, so the commercial viability is still unproven. The success will depend on whether Bio-IBA can be blended at meaningful percentages and whether it can compete on cost with regular diesel. For now, it's an early-stage collaboration that could open a new route for lowering emissions in hard-to-electrify industries.
