Western Regional Council, FICCI Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industries ¡V Western Regional Council (FICCI-WRC), is organizing a two day conference on "Green-fuel". An Eco-friendly, Farm Grown next Generation Fuel on 29th and 30th of September¡2005 at Hotel Intercontinental, Andheri (E), Mumbai, India.
As you are aware that rapidly increasing fuel consumption and consequent depletion of fossil reserves clearly shows that the end of the Fossil Fuel Age is not very far. Besides, such fuels are the chief contributors to urban air pollution and a major source of greenhouse gases (GHGs) - considered to be the main causes behind the climate change phenomena. India has a great potential for production of bio-fuels like bio-ethanol and bio-diesel from non-edible oil seeds.
The enormous potential of bio-fuel is yet to be realized in India. Our aim at FICCI-WRC, in organizing a Conference-¡§Green-fuel¡¨¡V An Eco-friendly, Farm Grown next Generation Fuel ¡V¡¦05 is to bring together technological experts, policy makers, regulatory officials, industry leaders, growers/farmers, distillers associations, sugar manufacturers association, oil companies, traders, automobile association, entrepreneurs, promotional and marketing agencies and financial institutions to:-
Tap the high potential of producing bio-fuel from India¡¦s waste
agricultural produce
Enhance energy security owing to reduced dependence on oil imports
Develop proper technology/ strategies to reduce vehicular pollution for better environment
Utilize the waste natural resources for healthier tomorrow
Increase employment and derive significant improvement of the rural economy.
