BPCL, an oil refiner in India, recently entered into an agreement with the National Sugar Institute to ramp up ethanol production from sweet sorghum. This collaboration is part of efforts to boost sustainable aviation fuel production and scale ethanol output in the country. The partnership signifies a strategic move towards enhancing biofuel production and reducing carbon emissions in the transportation sector. In a related development, India's state oil marketing companies are gearing up to procure more ethanol to fulfill the E20 blending mandate in gasoline this year. This trend indicates a growing focus on biofuels and sustainability in the Indian energy landscape, with key players actively seeking partnerships and investments to drive the transition towards cleaner energy sources.
