This is an important year for India with the country holding the G20 presidency through to the end of November, giving the nation’s leaders several opportunities to help shape future policies and programmes across many sectors, including their already-declared strong focus on biofuels.

“The Alliance will be aimed at facilitating cooperation and intensifying the use of sustainable biofuels, including in the transportation sector,” declared India’s Ministry of Petroleum & Natural Gas (MoP&NG) in February this year.
