India

NEW DELHI, November 28, 2023 – India has set plans to begin blending compressed biogas with gas to cut down on natural gas imports, the government announced on Saturday.

Mandatory phasing will begin at 1% for use in automobiles and households from April 2025 and will increase to around 5% by 2029.

India is one of the world’s largest importers of natural gas, with almost half of its consumption fulfilled by international shipments.

The government also aims to have 1% sustainable aviation fuel in all aircraft turbine fuel by 2027 and 2% by 2028.

India aims to have net-zero carbon emissions by 2070.
