‘Field to fuel’: 19 countries join India to launch Global Biofuels Alliance
NEW DELHI: Nineteen countries agreed to stand with India as initiating members of Global Biofuels Alliance, even as New Delhi’s bid to expand the deployment of biofuels as a low-carbon pathway received support from within and beyond G20.
“True success of Global Biofuels Alliance will depend on moving this project from a project of the government to the project of the people,” an oil ministry statement quoted Petroleum Minister Hardeep Singh Puri as saying after consultations on the alliance held on the sidelines of the G20 14th energy transition ministerial meeting in Goa on Saturday.
The statement quoted US energy secretary Jennifer Granholm recognising the establishment of alliance as a critical step in their biofuels journey with the aim of moving from “test tube to test drive and field to fuels”.
