The Bioenergy e-Marketplace, launched under the guidance of the Uttar Pradesh New and Renewable Energy Development Agency (UPNEDA), serves as a one-stop digital hub connecting farmers, FPOs, and bioenergy developers.

This initiative supports the efficient use of crop residues as bio-feedstock, reduces environmental pollution caused by stubble burning, and fosters growth in the bioenergy sector across Uttar Pradesh.

UPNEDA provides the technology platform and ensures smooth operation but does not take part in any financial transaction or rate negotiation — all dealings are directly between users.
