Alternative Fuel Feedstock Sourcing
Sourcing and supply opportunities across waste oils, fats, residues and other feedstocks used in alternative-fuel pathways.
QUALIFICATION WORKFLOW
Alternative fuel feedstocks
Feedstock sourcing depends on more than finding material in the right quantity. Origin, specification, traceability, sustainability characteristics, documentation, logistics and commercial terms all influence whether a supply opportunity is suitable for a particular application.
VURDHAAN works across established and emerging feedstock categories, connecting relevant requirements with supply opportunities.

What buyers typically need to assess
Evaluating an alternative fuel feedstock requirement involves verifying physical, legal, and operational parameters.
Feedstock type and specification
Free Fatty Acid (FFA), moisture, insoluble impurities, unsaponifiables, sulfur, trace metals, and heating value.
Origin and collection model
Geographic origin, collection point type (restaurant, industrial refinery, mill, slaughterhouse), and supply chain structure.
Available volume
Cargo or shipment size, spot lot availability, recurring monthly supply, or multi-year off-take capability.
Loading location
Origin port, terminal infrastructure, draft limitations, loading rates, and tank storage facilities.
Delivery destination
Destination port, refinery receipt capabilities, inland transport options, and discharge logistics.
Availability and timing
Ready date, loading laycan window, transit duration, and delivery schedule alignment.
Traceability
First-gathering point documentation, proof of waste origin, batch tracking, and mass balance records.
Sustainability documentation
Lifecycle greenhouse gas (GHG) calculations, land-use criteria, and self-declarations.
Certification, where applicable
ISCC EU, ISCC PLUS, CORSIA, or regional compliance certification chain-of-custody proof.
Commercial basis
Pricing formula, reference index, Incoterms (FOB, CIF, CFR), payment terms, and credit arrangements.
