Will India’s Ethanol Strategy Lead the World?

India’s ethanol goals could make it a global leader in sustainable mobility, says UNICA President Evandro Gussi. India has made significant progress in ethanol adoption, shifting from minimal usage to major advancements. The government’s roadmap aims to increase ethanol blending to 20%. Gussi believes India will soon become a leader in sustainable mobility. The Global Biofuels Alliance (GBA), an initiative by Brazil, the US, and India, supports this goal. Launched during India’s G20 presidency, the alliance addresses bureaucratic challenges. India’s leadership in biofuels inspires countries like Indonesia, Thailand, the Philippines, and South Africa to join the global push for ethanol adoption. Gussi highlights two priorities for India’s ethanol strategy: measuring the carbon intensity of ethanol and introducing tax differences between ethanol and gasoline. These steps are crucial for India’s biofuels future.
