How Bioenergy Can Drive India’s Net Zero Transition – Insights from Monish Ahuja at CLIMAFIX Summit 2024
In this compelling talk from the CLIMAFIX Summit 2024, Monish Ahuja explores the transformative role of bioenergy in India’s journey toward Net Zero. He emphasizes the importance of persistence and scaling efforts in the bioenergy sector to drive meaningful change.
He also discusses India’s leadership in biofuel under the G20 and promotes a decentralized “hub and spoke” model to empower farmers in bioenergy production, creating economic incentives for using agricultural residue. He highlights how bioenergy can serve as a sustainable alternative to fossil fuels like coal and diesel, offering both environmental and economic benefits.
Key takeaways include the potential for bioenergy to replace traditional fossil fuels, innovations in biomass transportation and storage, and the future potential of treating bioenergy as a tradable commodity. Ahuja makes a strong case for bioenergy as a sustainable, economically viable solution that can help reduce India’s carbon footprint while supporting rural economies.
The CLIMAFIX Summit is an annual gathering of climate leaders organized by IIT Madras Energy Consortium & Energy Alternatives India (EAI).
