EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The overall event in BBBS summit is catering to the growing biofuel industry.
The Biofuels industry in India with its various components such as Biogas,
Bioethanol (first generation, second generation) and uses of biomass for
briquetting and bio-pellets poses an opportunity for the sector to be able to
support the large agrarian economy that India has. Agriculture being the
backbone of such a large population provides food security to the nation and is
now also evolving to provide energy security to the nation. The overall spectrum
of products which can be produced from Agri-feedstock and biomass is growing
to overall help reduce the import dependency of the nation on imports of crude
oil and natural gas. This sector also creates jobs in rural areas and creates new
entrepreneurs and businesses who can now benefit from the industry which is
developing. Underlying all these efforts is the long-term goal to develop an
Aatmanirbhar India which is suitable to deal with the global fluctuations in
commodity prices and geopolitics with local innovation and usage of domestic
production.

 DAY I - 2nd MAY 2024

1000 – 1130 hrs INAUGURAL SESSION

India’s Energy Transition - Policy and Regulatory Landscape
Ø The conference introduction on the nature of the import dependency of energy such as crude
oil, gas along with the position of India as an exporter of petroleum products was highlighted.
Ø Key points for discussions were centred around the importance of biofuels as a key enabler in
the energy transition for reduction of the overall import dependency, as it would help India
maintain its domestic market and pricing of the fuels in terms of the long-term goals of
reducing inflation and maintaining a suitable mix of domestic and international participants
in the energy mix.
Ø This is an opportune time for the sector which is currently seeing a revival of the overall focus
on how India is not only an export destination for various countries who are major oil and gas
producers but also an investment destination with a vibrant domestic market which can
absorb the supply of the world while also generate local industry which can create jobs for the
long-term growth of the energy sector.

OPENING ADDRESS
Dr. S C Sharma, Convenor, BBB Summits; Formerly Officer on Special Duty (Energy & Climate
Change), GoI, Founder Member & Chief Commercial Officer, Petronet LNG Ltd.
Ø The overall import of petroleum products such as
crude oil and gas in the energy mix with 132.4
billion USD of crude imports in 2023-24, 23.4
billion USD of petroleum product imports and 13.3
billion of LNG imports in 2023-24 is a large
expense in terms of forex and we have been able
to balance it with the export of petroleum
products of 47.4 billion USD. The net oil and gas
import bill to the country in 2023-24 is 121.6 billion
USD. Oil and gas accounts for over 25% of the
imports of the country and 12% of the exports of
the country.
Ø The industry is also evaluating means to look
beyond the current revenue streams of fuels and
look at additional revenue streams such as carbon
credits and value-added chemicals.
Ø The speaker shared an understanding of the
overall market in its current stage where there
have been success stories with 1G ethanol have to be replicated for the case of CBG, biodiesel
and other biogenic sources of fuel.

Resources, Govt. of India
Ø This session started with trying to address
the concerns around the overall need for
conservation of fundamental resources
such as water which are being heavily
consumed by the biofuel industry (for
ethanol production) and also highlight
some of the issues faced by farmers in
terms of being able to sell the grains and
produce they have harvested at prices
which benefit them while ensuring the
affordability of the fuel being produced
from them in terms of ethanol.

INAUGURAL KEYNOTES

§ Shri Alok Kumar, IAS (Retd.), Director, The Lantau Group & Former Secretary, Power, GoI
§ Dr Chetan S Solanki, Founder, Energy Swaraj Foundation
Ø This balance is key to ensuring the long-term sustainability of the biofuels sector and hence
the focus of the sector is to also look for revenue streams for farmers which are not only
focussed on grain and sugarcane but also other feedstock which can increase the revenue of
the farmers.
Ø The sessions also stressed on the importance of new technology in helping to increase the
yield of biofuels and ensuring that the long-term impacts of stubble burning, and other
environmentally degrading practices can be avoided by using market-based mechanisms
and prudent policies to ensure that there is a market for biomass and Agri residue for farmers
every harvest season.

Ø To also look beyond the status of the industry and look at how there needs to be an education
to consumers to practice energy efficiency measures such as prudent use of power, effective
use of fuel by vehicle owners’ awareness among the consumer base must be created.
Ø Simple changes such as not using the air conditioning to lower temperatures, turning of lights
which are not required and overall bringing the awareness of these practices from a young
age to children is a missions undertaken by some of the speakers of the session.

Ø 2G Ethanol will play an important role in achieving India's Ethanol Blending target while
ensuring food security and supporting farmer incomes.
Ø India is a price-sensitive market. Further, the prices of the 2G ethanol may not low enough to
be supported with that extra premium, if other byproducts of the plant viz chemicals, etc are
monetized efficiently the 2G ethanol projects are more viable.
Ø Setting up a consistent biomass supply chain is one of the major challenges.
Ø Selection of appropriate enzymes depending on the feedstock will be important for
increasing the efficiency of 2G Ethanol plants.
Ø At present, E20 fuels is available at ~12,000 retail outlets and will be available across the
nation by 2025-26.
Ø Additionally, E-100 fuels are also being rolled out in some retail outlets.
Ø Having different dispensers for different/ higher ethanol blended petrol may be looked up.
Ø The technology for 2G ethanol plants is established with multiple commercial scale projects
being executed by PSUs and private companies, the challenge being faced is of identifying
the commercial aspects of feedstock sourcing as the feedstock is common with power plants
looking to blend biomass-based briquettes and CBG plants creating a competitive market for
feedstock sourcing.
Ø Within the blending target for the next Ethanol supply year of 1025 crore litres identifying the
capacity which can be procured from the currently active 2G ethanol plants is an option to
ensure that the 2G ethanol can be adequately absorbed for the purpose of blending
Ø Export of 2G ethanol is allowed by MOPNG and understanding the dynamics of the global
ethanol market is key to ensuring that an adequate price can be obtained for the 2G ethanol.
Ø As ethanol is hygroscopic understanding the impact of ethanol in the storage tanks is critical
for the higher blending which can be envisione
Ø d due the supply of both 1G and 2G ethanol.

management are some of the major challenges in the Biogas segment.
Ø More market access to Biogas is required to achieve the true commercial potential of Biogas.
The exchange platform for Biogas just like a platform for gas or electricity can help biogas in
attaining its true commercial potential.
Ø For attaining sustainability in real terms, both decentralized and centralized biogas plants
are required.
Ø Awareness camps for investors who are looking to Invest in the biogas segment may be
explored.
Ø A CBG/ Biogas plant needs to have raw material availability and the biogas market within
100 km radius to run the plant efficiently.
Ø Blending financing options may be explored for financing of CBG plants. Further, the credit
guarantee scheme by the World Bank, SIDBI may be looked upon for funding for the biogas/
CBG project.
Ø Efforts need to be made to make Impact Investment more mainstream investment.
Ø Exploring carbon credits for biogas plants may also be looked at. Further, it was deliberated
that for large-scale biogas plants, the carbon credit may add only 3-5% of the revenue,
however, in the case of decentralized biogas plants, carbon credits may increase the revenue
more significantly. Other options like green credits etc may also be explored.
Ø The implementation procedure and guidelines of Article 6.2 of the Paris Agreement should be
finalized soon. This can help in realizing greater value for carbon credits for the compressed
biogas plants.
Ø In India, policies are in place to support the development of Biogas/ CBG plant. Central
