The global energy supply chain and the environment could be greatly impacted by biofuels, and India could serve as a model for other nations on how to achieve this. At a Strategic Conference, it was discussed how the host of India Energy Week, with its big agricultural sector and strong political resolve, could take the lead in this new energy industry.
In reference to India's energy sector accomplishments, Union Minister of Petroleum and Natural Gas Hardeep Singh Puri said, "The biofuel story resonates very strongly in the exhibits showcased here." Making sustainable aviation fuel from cooking and vegetable oils is one area that really struck me. Puri praised the innovations and technologies on display at the second India Energy Week in Goa, 2024. Union Minister Puri briefed the reporters on some of the technologies on display, such as diesel engines made specifically for the US market and 'tamper-proof' cooking gas cylinders with QR codes.
The government has advanced the aim of 20 per cent ethanol blending by five years, to 2025, according to the Union Minister, after India achieved 12 percent ethanol blending with petrol five months ahead of schedule. "Electric and ethanol will be the next generation," he declared.
