The Problem We're Solving

India's Hidden Oil Crisis

Every year India generates an enormous volume of used cooking oil — and almost none of it is safely recovered. The cost is paid in public health and polluted water.

6.2B

Litres of used cooking oil

Generated across India every single year.

Higher health risk

Reused cooking oil is linked to a sharply higher risk of cancer and heart disease.

Most of it

Never recovered

Re-enters the food chain illegally, or is dumped into drains and local water bodies.

Sengoal exists to close this gap.

Our Circular Value Chain

India's First B2C ESG Model

One feedstock moves through a single closed loop — from the kitchen, back to clean energy and global markets.

01

Fresh Oil Delivered

Lab-certified, refined cooking oil delivered to homes, kitchens and temples.

02

UCO Collection

Used cooking oil collected back from homes, kitchens and temples.

03

Safe Transport

Tracked, compliant logistics carry the feedstock to our plant.

04

Upgrade to Green Fuel

Refined into clean biodiesel and sustainable aviation fuel.

05

Global Impact

Shipped to Europe and Asia as premium clean fuel.

The consumer loop is the moat

Households order fresh, lab-certified oil — and return the used oil in a Sengoal-provided specialised tin fitted with an IoT system that automatically measures the oil level. One loop secures a proprietary, below-market feedstock, builds a consumer brand, and generates quantifiable ESG impact.

From Kitchen to Cloud

Used cooking oil, upgraded into sustainable aviation fuel — and into a mandated global market.

Regulatory Milestone

RUCO Aggregator Licence — Secured

Sengoal has been officially licensed as a RUCO (Repurpose Used Cooking Oil) Aggregator — the final regulatory clearance standing between our collection network and our biodiesel & SAF revenue lines.

Licence Granted

Bulk UCO Collection, Now Fully Legal

As a licensed Aggregator, Sengoal is authorised to collect used cooking oil in bulk directly from hotels, restaurants and other food business operators — replacing the informal, unregulated channel these establishments relied on before.

Biodiesel & SAF Lines Officially Unlocked

Revenue Lines 03 and 04 — biodiesel and sustainable aviation fuel — were held back only by this licence. With it secured, both lines are cleared to go live, activating all four legs of the Sengoal revenue stack.

Traceable, Audit-Ready Supply Chain

Every litre collected is channelled and documented under the official RUCO framework, giving downstream biodiesel and SAF partners a fully traceable, audit-ready feedstock trail from kitchen to refinery.

Stronger Standing with Offtake Partners

Regulatory clearance removes a key diligence flag for export and offtake partners like FatHopes Energy and Muzuir, positioning Sengoal to move faster on new domestic and international agreements.

Technology

Automated UCO collection, by design

Our collection process is built to run automatically — live, demonstrable proof that the model works, with every litre traceable from source to plant.

IoT smart collection

Connected collection containers digitise every litre of UCO, building an auditable, automated feedstock pipeline.

Tracked, compliant logistics

Chain-of-custody transport keeps the feedstock auditable from kitchen to refinery.

Pledge platform

Households pledge to stop reusing oil and order fresh oil through a simple digital platform.

Community & Scale

A movement, not just a business

A plant that already runs, real products in market, and a growing community of families choosing safe oil.
