India has a huge opportunity to fulfil its commitment towards global GHG emissions reduction by 30-35%. This can be achieved by maximizing the share of renewable energy in India’s overall energy mix, currently is dominated by fossil fuels. After industry and transportation sector comprising of air, water and surface modes is the second largest contributor of GHG emissions. Ever since the evolution of mobility, the transportation landscape continues to be occupied mostly by internal combustion engines (ICE) that employs fossil fuels. These fossil fuels are majorly import dependent and cause of huge foreign exchange outflow. Therefore, the need of the hour is to leverage captive alternative energy sources that can help mitigate risk of climate change besides positively impacting economy and society. Biofuel - a renewable transportation fuel, both in gaseous & liquid form, is a very promising, alternate clean energy source. Biofuels are environment friendly and help improve the rural economy. Besides facilitating energy self-reliance, biofuels utilize existing infrastructure and ecosystem of ICE automotive industry. Praj Bio-MobilityTM platform envisions the use of bio-based renewable feedstock for the production of low-carbon transportation fuels for all modes of transportation. This unique platform also works in tandem with e-mobility solutions. Bio-MobilityTM platform comprises of established solutions such as 1st generation bio-ethanol, Biodiesel and fast emerging advanced biofuel solution such as 2nd generation bio-ethanol, sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), compressed bio-gas (CBG), Bio-hydrogen, marine bio-fuels, etc. This paper deals with the adoption of Bio-MobilityTM platform for transportation as they can create winners in the social, economic and environmental areas. This includes entrepreneurship and employment opportunities for farming community, boosting rural economy, minimizing air pollution resulting in curbing GHG emissions. It also aligns with the Government of India’s vision of doubling the farmer’s income and contributing towards India’s Aatmanirbhar Bharat Abhiyaan.
