“Mission Integrated Bio-refineries” comes in the wake of the soft launch by Dr Singh in November last year at COP26 side event at the Mission Innovation Annual Gathering.
Union Minister Dr Jitendra Singh launched a major futuristic (Public Private Participation) PPP mode initiative for ‘Clean Energy’ on Monday. It is an Integrated Biorefineries Mission with the goal of replacing 10% of fossil-based fuels, chemicals, and materials with bio-based alternatives by 2030.
Dr Singh reiterated India’s commitment to a low-carbon future through “Mission Innovation“, centred on technology advancement and cooperation, zero waste bio-refinery for cost effective production of sustainable bio-fuels with co-production of bio-based chemicals and materials, using bio-technological interventions. He said, the Mission Integrated Bio-refineries unites a dynamic and results-oriented partnership of countries, international organizations, the corporate sector, academic institutions and civil society to accelerate innovation for renewable fuels, chemicals, and materials for a low- carbon future.

The twitter post by Dr Singh read, “PM Sh Narendra Modi had proposed nomenclature “Mission Innovation”. We are glad to move forward with full launch of “Mission Integrated Bio-refineries” to accelerate “Clean Energy” solutions through Public-Private Alliances. A futuristic initiative with global synergism.”

He also launched three Material Acceleration Platforms (MAP) set up by Department of Science and Technology (DST) on Integrated Clean Energy Material Acceleration Platform on Storage, Integrated Clean Energy Material Acceleration Platform on Materials and Integrated Clean Energy Material Acceleration Platform on Bioenergy and Hydrogen with a total cost of $ 6 Million USD. He said these platforms would leverage emerging capabilities in next-generation computing, artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning, and robotics to accelerate the pace of materials discovery up to 10 times faster.
He also announced ‘National Funding Opportunity on Sustainable Aviation Fuels’ to support and conduct RD&D (Research, Development & Demonstration) to foster technological innovations in advanced biofuels for aviation applications.
“India and the Netherlands are today launching an international country coalition for the development of biorefinery. The countries involved bring together knowledge, experience and resources to accelerate the development of innovations in the field of biorefinery.” Ministry of Economic Affairs and Climate, Netherlands, tweeted.
India en Nederland lanceren vandaag een internationale landencoalitie voor de ontwikkeling van bio-raffinage.
De betrokken landen brengen kennis, ervaring en middelen samen om de ontwikkeling van innovaties op het terrein van bio-raffinage te versnellen.
