ISMA and CEM to promote bioenergy in India

India is currently chairing the CEM along with G-20 and will soon be launching the historic Global Biofuels Alliance officially

Indian Sugar Mills Association (ISMA) has joined the BioFuture Campaign, a global initiative launched by the Clean Energy Ministerial (CEM) to promote sustainable bioenergy development and deployment in India. India is currently chairing the CEM along with G-20 and will soon be launching the historic Global Biofuels Alliance officially through the platform.

As the premier sugar organisation in India, ISMA serves as the primary interface between the government and private sugar mills in the country. The association has been at the forefront of India’s national ethanol blending program, which aims to reduce the country’s dependence on fossil fuels and promote the use of sustainable biofuels. Due to the efforts of the industry, India has been able to reach 10 per cent blending in record time and will be crossing 20 per cent by 2025.

ISMA’s commitment towards sustainability and the sugar industry’s phenomenal contribution to India’s biofuel program has already become a globally acknowledged success story. With the tremendous potential for sugarcane to produce bioenergy, the industry has become the forerunner in implementing India’s energy transition to a cleaner future. ISMA remains committed to lowering India’s carbon footprint and is already expanding the sugar energy matrix to include ethanol, Compressed Bio Gas (CBG), Green Hydrogen, and Green Methanol.
