Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers organised Seminar to commemorate World Biofuel Day 2022

By August 11, 2022 3:37 pm IST

Seminar on ‘Promotion of Biofuels: A Pathway for Low Carbon aimed to disseminate knowledge, experience, and learning on biofuels ecosystem, especially Ethanol.

The Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers (SIAM) organized a Virtual Seminar on ‘Promotion of Biofuels: A Pathway for Low Carbon Mobility’ to commemorate World Biofuel Day 2022. The seminar aimed to disseminate knowledge, experience, and learning on biofuels ecosystem, especially Ethanol. The conference deliberated various aspects of ethanol production and use including shared industry best practices and understanding of the concept of ‘Decarbonisation’ of the automotive sector. The discourse during the conference also provided a glimpse of upcoming policies, regulatory and legislative frameworks on Biofuels.

The Ministerial Plenary Session was graced by recorded message delivered by Mr. Hardeep Singh Puri,  Minister, Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas, Govt. of India, and Mr. Pankaj Jain, Secretary, Ministry of Petroleum & Natural Gas, Govt of India. Emphasizing the need for alternate fuel and appreciating the efforts of SIAM, Mr. Pankaj, Secretary, Ministry of Petroleum & Natural Gas, Govt of India, who joined as Chief Guest at the Ministerial Plenary Session said, “We are looking at producing 10-12 billion litres of ethanol by 2025 and we are conscious about the dispensing of E20 fuel by as early as April 2023. We strongly believe that Flex fuel vehicles are going to matter in the future. The automobile sector is one sector in India that is way ahead of Government policy deadlines.”

At the session, SIAM report on Microbial in-situ crop residue management in Punjab, by SIAM was also unveiled by Mr. Pankaj, the report is focussing on curbing the stubble burning.

Assuring a positive outcome from the session, Mr. Hardeep Singh Puri, Minister, Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas, Govt of India, said, “The key takeaways from today’s event will act as a roadmap for the transition to biofuels. The industry is working towards the PM’s Vision of ethanol-based mobility as one of the pathways for carbon neutrality and fostering sustainable mobility. Subsequently, the roadmap for ethanol blending has detailed pathways for achieving 20% blending by 2025. The result of our 10% blending is that we made foreign exchange savings of Rs 41,500 crore, timely payment of Rs 40,600 crores to farmers and reduction of 27lakh tons of CO2 emissions”

Mr. Arun Goel, Secretary, Ministry of Heavy Industries, Govt of India, the Chief Guest at the Inaugural Session said, “In the last four decades, the Indian Auto Industry has been successful with indigenization of most products. The Industry is at its tipping point with opportunities in entrepreneurship, market growth & emission norms. The auto industry also achieved 10% ethanol blending on a PAN India basis.  We have a growing economy, and as the economy grows more, and more people use private transport, and two-wheeler consumers will shift to four-wheelers. This means the fuel consumption is also going to increase eventually, increasing the volume of emissions. Here, a strong case for renewable energy emerges. India has already achieved the target way before the deadline.”

Talking on the “Imperatives of Biofuels in India: Opportunities and Challenges”, Dr. SSV Ramakumar, Director, IOCL, presented his views on the opportunities and challenges involved with the usage of alternate fuels.

Mr. Rajender Petkar, Co-Chairman, SIAM Sustainable Mobility Group and President & CTO Tata Motors Ltd, Mr. K N Radhakrishnan, Chairman SIAM Two Wheeler CEOs Council and Director & CEO, TVS Motor Company, and Mr. Satyakam Arya, CEO & Managing Director, Daimler India Commercial Vehicle also emphasized on the usage of alternate fuel and ethanol blending in their remarks.
