The National Biofuel Coordination Committee (NBCC) proposed under this policy will decide feedstock import requirements. However, depending upon the availability of domestic feedstock and blending requirements, the import of feedstock for biodiesel production would be permitted.
The policy encourages augmenting indigenous feedstock supplies for biofuel production by utilizing the wastelands for feedstock generation. It aims to create a suitable environment for biofuels’ integration with primary fuels. The ministry hopes to achieve this target by reinforcing ongoing ethanol or biodiesel supplies by increasing domestic production by setting up second-generation biorefineries, developing new feedstock for biofuels, and new technologies for conversion to biofuels. An indicative target of 5% biodiesel blending in diesel is proposed by 2030. The Ministry Of Petroleum And Natural Gas ( MoP&NG) has notified that oil companies will sell ethanol-blended petrol (EBP) with a percentage of ethanol up to 20% from April 1, 2023.Ī target of 20% blending of ethanol in petrol is proposed by Ethanol Supply Year (ESY) 2025-26.
