Indian sugar manufacturers partner with TERI, PRAJ for sustainable biofuels

In India, The Hindu BusinessLine reported that the Indian Sugar & Bio Energy Manufacturers Association (ISMA) announced that it has signed agreements with The Energy and Resources Institute (TERI) and PRAJ Industries to advance sustainable bioenergy solutions. 

The MoUs focus on sustainable aviation fuel and explore the potential of bioethanol, biogas, green bio-hydrogen and green methanol, according to the report.

“Unlike conventional jet fuels, SAF produced from renewable resources can significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions which remains one of the biggest challenges. By virtue of our collaboration, we will leverage the research and policy expertise of TERI and the technology solutions of PRAJ to negate such challenges and build a robust bioenergy ecosystem,” ISMA’s director-general Deepak Ballani said.

Aimed at building a bio-economy and low-carbon energy infrastructure in India, this collaboration will play an integral role in promoting knowledge sharing, policy advocacy, and capacity building, he added.
