Day 1 in São Paulo is off to a powerful start!
At the @IEABioenergy Task 39 Industry Hearing, GBA's Technical Director Dr. Santanu Gupta joined global leaders to spotlight how ethanol, biodiesel, and bio-based fuels are driving sustainable transport.
Key highlights from Dr. Gupta's session:
• Brazil's ~90% flex-fuel vehicle adoption.
• India's surge from ~1% to ~20% ethanol blending.
• GBA's push for a 4x increase in global biofuel use.
Shared knowledge drives global leapfrogs!

The global bioeconomy is now a $200B+ market.
At #ClimateWeekNYC2026, the Interim DG of the Global Biofuels Alliance (@we_gba) mapped out how energy, agriculture & transport are converging to power the clean transition.
Bioenergy touches lives & turns waste to value:
🔥 Clean Cooking: PMUY reached 105M+ women beneficiaries.
♻️ *GOBARdhan Scheme:* $2.5B outlay targeting a 10x growth in Compressed Biogas (CBG) from waste & ag residues.
Through toolkits, capacity building & its new Knowledge Repository, @we_gba is connecting global capital with national energy priorities.
Solutions must be nationally owned, but globally supported. 🌍⚡

How do we move global biofuel projects from development to Final Investment Decision (FID)? 💡
.@we_gba & @IndiainNewYork convened 44 global leaders across finance, energy, & policy in NYC for a roundtable on scaling capital & bankable projects.
High-level representatives from @BankofAmerica, @HSBC , @POETbiofuels, @Toyota, @WorldBiogasAssn, @USISPForum and @cppinvestments joined the Secretary/IDG and Consul General to chart the path forward. 🌐🌱
The global transition requires moving from commitments to capital deployment.

The Global Biofuels Alliance is expanding! 🚀
At #NYCW2026, we proudly co-hosted a diplomatic roundtable with the Consulate General of India in New York to discuss energy security and national biofuel pathways.
Incredible dialogue with delegations from 10 emerging bio-economies, on scaling sustainable fuels.
We are building powerful global momentum to unlock climate finance and technical collaboration ahead of the GBA Ministerial at #IEW2027!

How do we achieve true energy sovereignty? 🌍⚡
At the sidelines of the recent BRICS summit in Delhi (hosted by @CEEWIndia ), our Technical Director Dr. Santanu Gupta laid out the roadmap: Put biofuels at the center of energy policy.
Dr. Gupta showcased the Global Biofuels Alliance's (GBA) ongoing work to help nations build resilient energy frameworks from the ground up.
🇲🇺 The prime example? Mauritius.
Our partnership has rapidly transformed Mauritius’s energy policy landscape, turning it into a gold-standard model that other nations are now looking to adopt. When we diversify energy portfolios with sustainable biofuels, we don't just cut emissions, we secure the future. 🌱
Proud to see the BRICS community recognize the GBA’s pivotal role in driving global energy security!

Live from #ClimateWeekNYC!
🌍 The Director General of the Global Biofuels Alliance, Dr. Neeraj Mittal, just addressed top North American pension funds and PE firms at the Consulate General of India, New York.
India’s biofuel success story proves that policy and execution work:
✅ E20 ethanol blending target achieved in 2025-26, beating the 2030 goal.
✅ USD 21.5 billion saved in foreign exchange.
✅ 95 million tonnes of CO2 eliminated.
✅ USD 18 billion generated for farmers.
The next wave of green investment is here, focusing on Compressed Biogas (CBG) and Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF).
With 35 countries and 15 international orgs now united under the GBA, we are launching an Industry pillar soon to bring global businesses into the policy conversation.
Build in India, scale for the world! 🌱✈️ #EnergyTransition #Biofuels #SAF #ClimateAction
🇲🇺⚡️ A major milestone for clean energy in the Indian Ocean!
The Mauritius Biofuels Policy Framework has been officially co-launched! Developed under the leadership of Dr. Santanu Gupta (Director Technology, @we_gba) in close partnership with the Ministry of Energy & Public Utilities of Mauritius. 🧵👇
📈 The Economic & Environmental Dividend:
• 3–4 PJ/yr bioenergy output (~850–1,150 GWh)
• 0.8–1.2M tonnes CO₂ cut annually
• 1,000+ direct local jobs
• $25M+/yr direct Forex savings ($250M–$500M long-term potential)
🌍 The framework opens $150M–$300M in potential FDI across green finance, waste-to-energy PPPs, & modernized power assets.
Incredible work by Dr. Santanu Gupta, Minister @HardeepSPuri ,@IndianOilcl, and Mauritian partners in shaping a sustainable energy future! 🌿🇲🇺🇮🇳
