Ramakrishna YB, an expert at the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas, spoke at a World Biofuel Day event in New Delhi, emphasizing the immense potential of India's biofuel sector in leading to a sustainable future. He highlighted the need for extensive research and development to make biofuels commercially viable and unlock opportunities for sustainable energy production. Biofuels, derived from renewable organic matter, offer a promising alternative to traditional fuels by offsetting greenhouse gas emissions. They are considered carbon-neutral due to the absorption of carbon dioxide during their growth. Biofuels and green hydrogen are central to India's energy transition, aiming for net zero emissions by 2070 and 50% electricity from renewable sources by 2030. The approval of the Pradhan Mantri JI-VAN Yojana extension by the Union Cabinet further boosts the biofuel sector, including biofuels from lignocellulosic feedstocks like agricultural residues and algae.
