Dear Industry Colleague,

As we prepare to convene for the 5th BBB International Summit & Expo on the Bioenergy Value Chain, I am heartened by the momentum that India-and indeed the world-is witnessing in the quest for a sustainable, low-carbon future. It is my privilege to chair this event and to stand alongside leaders, innovators, and visionaries committed to shaping a Viksit Bharat through the power of bioenergy and renewable solutions.
India’s Ambitions:
India’s ambitions are bold. We aspire not only to become a global economic powerhouse, but to do so responsibly-by embedding sustainability, inclusiveness, and innovation at the core of our growth story. The bioenergy sector embodies this vision: it provides answers to our energy needs, fosters rural prosperity, and offers solutions to pressing environmental challenges. With bioenergy already meeting a significant share of India’s primary energy demand and supporting livelihoods across the nation, we are at a pivotal juncture.
Policy Momentum:
The Government of India’s progressive policies-ranging from the Global Biofuel Alliance to expanded incentives for biogas, ethanol, and next-generation fuels-have laid a strong foundation. Now, the baton passes to industry, researchers, entrepreneurs, and stakeholders to collaborate, invest, and deploy scalable solutions. The challenge is twofold: to accelerate the adoption of advanced biofuels and biomaterials, and to ensure that these transitions deliver inclusive growth, rural employment, and a resilient, self-reliant economy.

Global Significance :
Yet the significance of this effort goes far beyond India. As the world races toward Net Zero, India’s leadership in biofuels and biomaterials offers not just national gains, but a blueprint for other developing economies seeking affordable, inclusive, and sustainable pathways. In many ways, the choices we make here can help set the course for the global bioeconomy.

Human Dimension:
Equally important is the human dimension. Every tonne of bioenergy deployed is not just carbon saved, but also a farmer’s income strengthened, a rural youth employed, and a community empowered. This people-centric impact is what makes bioenergy such a unique lever of transformation-linking environmental sustainability with social equity.
Summit Objectives:
This summit is not just a conclave of discussions; it is a convergence of minds and markets. Here, we will showcase pioneering technologies, engage in high-impact dialogues, and forge partnerships that can propel India-and the world-towards energy security and Net Zero aspirations. It is a platform to bridge the gap between research and commercialization, catalyze investments, and promote best practices that will anchor India’s leadership in the global bioeconomy.
Let us make this summit a turning point-where inspiration becomes action, partnerships scale solutions, and vision transforms into impact.
