Developing countries like India, which have a dominant rural population, depend largely on fuel wood and other biomass for their cooking and heating. This demand for fuel wood keeps growing in proportion to growing population and human habitation. However, the area under forest is steadily reducing.

Abellon emphasizes on Social forestry - an activity that encourages aggressive plantation to meet the growing demand for timber, fuel wood, fodder, thereby reducing the pressure on traditional forest areas. Social forestry takes the forms of farm forestry, community forestry, extension forestry and agro-forestry. By encouraging social forestry, Abellon also focuses on extension of larger social benefits including:

•  Improving the environment for protecting agriculture from adverse climatic factors
•  Increasing the supply of wood fuel for domestic use, small timber for rural housing, fodder for livestock, and minor forest produce for local industries
•  Increasing the natural beauty of the landscape; creating recreational forests for the benefit of rural and urban population
•  Providing jobs
•  Land rehabilitation

These activities would support upgradation in the standard of living and quality of life, of both rural and urban communities.

Abellon has a sound background and expertise in the areas of Biotechnology and Microbiology enabling it to develop innovative business models as well as to explore opportunities in creating a value chain of energy products which are sustainable and localized.

Through biotechnology research and plant breeding, the company has studied various species of dedicated energy plantations such as bamboo, sweet sorghum, and others, which can be successfully cultivated on surplus wasteland or between existing cropping cycles, thus building long term sustainability into the biomass sourcing model.
