Future of Biofuels in India:
India is strongly promoting biofuels as part of its energy strategy and climate goals.
Key Initiatives :
National Bio-Energy Programme:
Launched by MNRE to boost biomass and bio-gas projects.
Subsidies and financial incentives for bio-gas/ bio CNG plants.
Ethanol Blending Program (EBP)
Target: 20% ethanol blending with petrol by 2025 (Achieved 12% in 2024). Encouraging sugar mills and grain based distilleries to supply ethanol. SATAT Scheme (Sustainable Alternative Towards affordable Transportation) Promotes Bio-CNG production and marketing. Oil Marketing Companies (OMCs) to buy Bio-CNG at assured prices.
GOBAR-Dhan Scheme
Promotes biogas and compost production from cattle dung and other organic waste.
PLI Scheme & Investment Push
Biofuel manufacturing units may get Production-Linked Incentives under green energy targets
Benefits of Biofuels
Eco-Friendly : Lower carbon emissions compared to fossil fuels. Reduce air pollutants like sulphur oxides and particulate matter.
Renewable Source : Made from organic materials like crops, agricultural waste, algae, and even used cooking oil. Unlike fossil fuels, biofuels can be replenished.
Rural Economic Boost : Increases income for farmers by purchasing agricultural Waste or specific energy crops (like sugarcane, jatropha, maize, etc.).
Waste Management : Utilizes agricultural and municipal waste, reducing landfill use and pollution.
Energy Security : Reduces dependency on imported crude oil. Helps stabilize energy prices domestically.
Compatibility : Can be blended with traditional fuels (e.g., ethanol with petrol, biodiesel with diesel) and used in existing engines Ajay Gaur, Director Biofuels are a promising sector to invest in India, especially between 2025 and 2035, as the country pushes for a green economy. With strong policy backing, guaranteed off take, and environmental benefits, returns are likely to improve over time especially in areas like:
Ethanol production (from sugarcane, rice, maize)
Bio-CNG from waste
Biodiesel from used cooking oil or jatropha it a Good Investment…
Growing demand : Due to ethanol blending, bio-CNG needs, and carbon neutrality goals.
Government assurance : Long-term off take agreements by OMCs (e.g., Indian, Oil & HPCL).
Tax benefits and subsidies available in many states.
Technology is maturing : Costs of production are gradually decreasing.
High ROI potential if managed well (especially with captive raw material or waste)
