India to create roadmap after achieving 20% ethanol blending target

Union Minister of Petroleum and Natural Gas, Hardeep Singh Puri, spoke at the 7th G-STIC (Global Sustainable Technology and Innovation Community) Conference in Delhi, marking the first time the event was held in India. Organised by TERI and VITO, with support from various technology research institutes, the conference focused on "Harmonising Technology, Policy and Business Pathways for Sustainable Future and Coexistence."

In his address, Puri outlined India’s efforts in sustainable energy solutions, noting the challenges involved in balancing affordability, availability, and sustainability within a democratic setting. He underscored India's growing significance in global energy consumption and the range of government initiatives aimed at achieving energy sustainability.

Puri highlighted the government’s commitment to research and development, particularly in hydrogen fuel cell technology for public transportation. He noted that India currently operates 15 hydrogen-powered buses as part of a demonstration, reflecting a vision for sustainable transport and a reduction in carbon emissions. He also pointed to the increase in ethanol blending, which rose from 1.53% in 2013-14 to 16% currently, leading the government to move its 20% blending target forward from 2030 to 2025—a step demonstrating proactive efforts toward energy sustainability.
