In co-creation we work from R&D to pilot scale towards the (semi-)commercial scale of new biobased chemicals into several applications and products that can become biobased and green. It is a journey towards net-zero where we are open for new partnerships and new insights, and define pathways to take together,” said Sangeeta Srivastava, CEO of Godavari Biorefineries Ltd.
GBL is a flagship company of the diversified Somaiya group with an experience of over eight decades in the sugar industry and over six decades in the biobased chemicals industry. We work with our farmers in sugarcane and other biomass crops to create value for their communities and our customers' value chains.
