What if there was a way
to decarbonise?
Equivalent to ~11% of global energy-sector emissions — more than any single country's annual output except China and the United States.
Founded in 2024 in New Delhi, Grafillium bridges today's industrial infrastructure with tomorrow's clean economy by integrating frontier nanotechnology with India's Make-in-India manufacturing ecosystem.
Grafillium focuses on efficiency improvement in existing assets — fuels, engines, thermal systems, roads, water recovery and built environments — where industrial energy losses already occur.
Civilization cannot pause while the world waits for new infrastructure to take over.
Grafillium began in 2022, when a deep-tech materials scientist and a veteran industrial expert aligned on one urgent question: how do we cut emissions meaningfully today — inside the engines, plants and ships already running the world?
The answer demanded two things rarely found together: frontier materials science and the discipline to scale it. The people who built Grafillium bring exactly that mix.
Over 25 years of sustainable engineering and operational execution across Australia, China, Italy, Germany and India. Focused on lean manufacturing, industrial scaling and deep-tech execution.

Accelerating India's transition toward cleaner, smarter and self-reliant technologies through world-class research, industrial execution and scalable nanotechnology platforms.
Improve the efficiency of existing infrastructure before industries are forced into expensive replacement cycles.
Six combustion- and lubrication-stage products in field testing, pilot testing or R&D — plus a future-materials pipeline. Each is validation-led: measured on the operator's own meters, scaled only on confirmed outcomes.
Select your operating environment and discover the Grafillium platforms most relevant to it.
A field-testing-stage diesel combustion additive for ultra-low-dosage (up to 0.05%) use in legacy and modern diesel engines. Designed to improve combustion kinetics, reduce incomplete combustion, black smoke, soot, particulate emissions and carbon deposits while enhancing fleet fuel economy by up to 25%.
Outcomes subject to operating conditions and on-site validation.
A field-testing-stage engine oil and gear oil additive designed to reduce friction / wear rate at the molecular level by film formation, providing abrasion-resistance and high-lubricity in hard-to-reach areas.
Outcomes subject to operating conditions and on-site validation.
A pilot-testing-stage coal combustion additive designed to improve coal burnout, reduce loss on ignition, optimise excess-air demand, reduce SOx pathways and lower slagging / fouling risk in boiler systems.
Outcomes subject to operating conditions and on-site validation.
An advanced-R&D-stage petrol combustion additive designed to extend Grafillium's combustion-kinetics platform to cars and two-wheelers — improving mileage efficiency and substantially reducing the adverse effects of ethanol blending.
Outcomes subject to operating conditions and on-site validation.
An initial R&D and concept-stage aviation fuel additive platform exploring whether combustion-chemistry learnings from diesel can be re-engineered for aviation turbine fuel.
Outcomes subject to operating conditions and on-site validation.
An initial R&D and concept-stage marine fuel additive platform exploring improved heavy-fuel flow behaviour, combustion efficiency, reduced sludge, fouling, black carbon, SOx-related burden and marine fuel economy.
Outcomes subject to operating conditions and on-site validation.
A future materials platform designed to extend road lifespan and reduce repair frequency through binder-side nano-reinforcement.
Outcomes subject to operating conditions and on-site validation.
A future materials platform aimed at plume abatement and water recovery in high-temperature industrial exhaust streams.
Outcomes subject to operating conditions and on-site validation.
A future materials thermal- and fire-protection platform engineered for coatings and built environments.
Outcomes subject to operating conditions and on-site validation.
Grafillium's vision toward 2035 is to become a source-level clean-infrastructure platform for legacy industrial systems — reducing fuel demand, coal consumption, carbon intensity, logistics burden and import pressure through validation-led nanotechnology deployment.
Built around India's industrial backbone. Designed for global infrastructure efficiency.

These represent at-scale aspirational scenarios. All performance outcomes are subject to site-specific validation. No universal savings, efficiency, or emissions-reduction claims are guaranteed.
Every deployment runs on the operator's instrumentation. We don't claim guaranteed savings — only what the meters confirm. This is the pathway every pilot follows.
Capture the operator's own meter / GPS readings before treatment — for example total kilometres travelled, total fuel used and total emissions on the unmodified asset.
Introduce the additive at the formulation's designed dosage. Sealed batches, traceable lots, on-site witness sign-off.
Run the asset under representative duty cycle for a sustained operating window — not a single test run.
Compare baseline and treated periods on the same instrumentation, normalised for ambient and load variance.
Translate measured deltas into the operator's own KPIs — total fuel saved for driven kilometres, fuel cost reduction and emissions reduction.
Expand only on confirmed outcomes. The operator owns the data; data confirms whether the pilot is ready for wider deployment.
A validated pilot feeds a parallel proof-at-scale track — so the data survives the field, not just the lab.
Verified fuel savings come first. MRV and carbon credits sit on top as a secondary revenue layer — never the primary case.
Outcomes are subject to operating conditions and on-site validation. Methodology, dosing and instrumentation protocols are shared in advance of every pilot.
Pick one asset. Define the baseline. Run a controlled trial. We share methodology, dosing and instrumentation in advance, and only scale on outcomes you measure.
