Petroleum Minister Shri Dharmendra Pradhan has stressed on the need to integrate the bio-energy policies with rural-agricultural economy. Inaugurating the Bio-Energy Summit 2015 organized by CII in New Delhi, he said that deliberations will help the government in forming an effective bio-fuel policy in 2016-17. Shri Pradhan said the Government is committed to promote alternate renewable sources of energy, such as, ethanol and bio-diesel . He said these alternate fuels would reduce our dependency on import of crude oil, provide savings in foreign exchange, provide better remuneration for the farmers and address growing environment issues.
