Honda & Buyofuel Forge Biofuel Supply Chains
21 Oct
Summary
- Partnership aims to build reliable biofuel supply chains in India.
- Combines Honda Trading's supply chain expertise with Buyofuel's platform.
- Focus on ethanol feedstock and solid biofuels to replace coal.

Buyofuel, a leading Indian B2B marketplace for biofuels, has entered into a significant long-term commercial agreement with Honda Trading Corporation India (HTID), the Indian subsidiary of Japan's Honda Trading Group. This partnership is set to build reliable supply chains for biofuels and their feedstock throughout India and internationally.
The collaboration strategically combines HTID's extensive experience in procurement, trading, and supply chain management with Buyofuel's advanced technology platform, its network of verified suppliers, and its on-ground execution capabilities.
Together, they will establish a robust supply framework for industrial users and biofuel producers. This framework will emphasize quality verification and traceability for critical categories like ethanol feedstock and solid biofuels, which are intended to substitute coal in industrial applications.
This alliance signifies a major step for both companies. For Honda Trading, it marks an expansion into India's rapidly growing biofuels sector, extending beyond its traditional automotive value chain. For Buyofuel, it integrates the substantial financial backing and global trading expertise of a major Japanese corporation into its existing marketplace.
The partnership aims to address the industry's need for trustworthy, large-scale biofuel supply, a crucial element for India's ongoing energy transition. This collaboration is expected to offer reliable biofuel solutions to the country's largest fuel consumers.
