India’s Sustainable Fuel & Mobility Transformation: Powering a Greener Future
India stands at the cusp of a transformative shift towards sustainable fuels, revolutionizing its automotive and energy landscapes. Propelled by ambitious government policies aimed at energy independence and emission reduction, the nation is witnessing rapid adoption of CNG, LNG, and a diverse portfolio of biofuels, including ethanol, biodiesel, Compressed Biogas (CBG), and the promising potential of Green Hydrogen.
Natural Gas: Expanding Infrastructure, Greener Mobility
India’s gas market is experiencing robust growth, underpinned by significant infrastructure investments and strong policy support. The CNG station network has nearly quadrupled since 2019 and is projected to double again by 2030, mirroring a 50% expansion of the gas transmission grid. This expansion is laying a strong foundation for cleaner vehicular fuels and enhanced energy security.
Biofuel Powerhouse: Ethanol, Biodiesel & CBG Leading the Charge
India is aggressively pursuing its 20% ethanol blending target by 2025, already achieving nearly 18% through increased production and strategic initiatives like the revised Pradhan Mantri JI-VAN Yojana. Biodiesel is crucial for energy diversification, with a 5% blending target by 2030 supported by GST reductions and promotion of sustainable feedstocks, leading to increased procurement by Oil Marketing Companies (OMCs). The Compressed Biogas (CBG) sector is gaining significant traction under the SATAT initiative, aiming for 5,000 plants by 2025. The CBG-CGD Synchronization Scheme and infrastructure development funding are streamlining biogas supply to city gas networks.
The Green Hydrogen Horizon: A National Mission for Decarbonization
India’s National Green Hydrogen Mission aims to establish the nation as a global hub for green hydrogen production, utilization, and export. With a substantial outlay of ₹19,744 crore, the mission focuses on:
• Strategic Interventions for Green Hydrogen Transition (SIGHT): Incentivizing electrolyser manufacturing and green hydrogen production with an allocation of ₹17,490 crore.
• Green Hydrogen Hubs: Developing at least two hubs with a ₹400 crore investment for large-scale infrastructure.
• Enabling Policies: Facilitating adoption through transmission charge waivers, renewable energy banking, and open access.
• Infrastructure Development: Supporting hydrogen transport and storage via pipelines and tankers.
• Research & Development (SHIP): Fostering innovation through a public-private R&D fund.
LNG: Bridging the Energy Gap with Global Partnerships
Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) plays a vital role in India’s cleaner energy transition. The government is focused on increasing the supply of affordable, domestically produced natural gas for transport. Simultaneously, strategic collaborations between Indian energy firms and international LNG producers are securing long-term supplies and fostering the growth of LNG infrastructure nationwide.
Navigating the Future of Green Mobility: A Premier Industry Platform
Messe Frankfurt’s newly rebranded Sustainable Mobility Fuels Summit taking place on 11-12 September 2025 at Shangri- La Eros Hotel, New Delhi is the leading forum in India for indepth discussions on the evolving landscape of sustainable fuels, including CNG, LNG, ethanol-blended flex fuels, biodiesel, Compressed Biogas (CBG), and Green Hydrogen. This pivotal conference will convene key stakeholders to address the critical transition from conventional fossil fuels to a diversified and sustainable energy mix for the mobility sector.
A Legacy of Leadership & Collaboration
The summit has consistently attracted top-tier experts and decision-makers from the energy sector, including senior government officials, Managing Directors, CEOs, Executive Directors, and Board Members from major oil and gas Public Sector Undertakings (PSUs).
Recap of the 2024 Edition
The previous edition witnessed an inspiring inauguration by esteemed dignitaries, including Dr. Hanif Qureshi, IPS, Additional Secretary, Ministry of Heavy Industries; Padma Bhushan Dr. Kirit Shantilal Parikh, Chairman, Integrated Research and Action for Development (IRADe) and former Member, Planning Commission, Government of India; Dr. Vibha Dhawan, Director General, TERI; Shri Sandeep Jain, Executive Director (Gas Business), Indian Oil Corporation Limited; and Shri Kapil Kumar Jain, Executive Director (Marketing – Retail LNG), GAIL (India) Limited.
