Bioenergy is a crucial pillar in India’s transition to a sustainable and self-reliant energy future. It is crucial to unlock the full potential of this sector, not only to diversify our energy mix, but also to ensure enhanced energy access, rural development, and environmental sustainability.

In this regard, Sardar Swaran Singh National Institute of Bio-Energy (SSS-NIBE) has been at the forefront of this transformation, driving cutting-edge research, technological innovations, and capacity building in bioenergy. Through its efforts, SSS NIBE is playing a key role in the development of modern bioenergy technologies, advanced biofuels and sustainable value-added products, all of which are vital to reducing our dependence on fossil fuels and mitigating climate change.

As we continue to pursue the ambitious goal of achieving 500 GW of renewable energy capacity by 2030, bioenergy will remain an integral part of India’s strategy. SSS NIBE’s work will not only help in achieving our energy targets but also support greener livelihoods generation, rural economy, and cleaner environment for future generations. I commend the institute for its contributions to the bioenergy sector and for its unwavering commitment to advancing India’s renewable energy mission.
