Universal Biofuels Pvt. Ltd., a wholly owned subsidiary of AE BIOFUELS Inc. – USA, is one of the largest producers and retailers of biodiesel in India.  With a 150,000 metric tonne per annum production capacity facility located in Kakinada, A.P., and offices in Hyderabad, Universal Biofuels is strategically located to supply the growing renewable fuel demand in both India and abroad.
Since commencing production in September of 2008, the DeSmet-Ballestra plant has been producing quality biodiesel that confirms to all relevant EN, ASTM, and BIS specifications. Previously an Export Oriented Unit, the plant was ‘domesticated’ in Q1 of 2009 and has been supplying the the growing demand of the Indian domestic market with clean burning renewable fuel.

The Kakinada plant is also equiped with a pre-treatment plant and glycerin refinery, which enables Unviersal Biofuels to refine its feedstocks to various parameters, and produce pharmacuetical-grade (USP) Glycerin.  The cost savings associated with these pre-treatment and co-product refineries enable Universal Biofuels a significant cost savings versus the competition, which benefits our growing customer base.  Universal Biofuels plans to double to name-plate capacity of the plant to 300,000 metric tonnes per annum within a years time.
