ISMA has been a key stakeholder in G20 and Clean Energy Ministerial (CEM14) deliberations. In partnership with UNICA, ISMA organised Ethanol talks in 2023, participated in the Energy Transition Working Groups, the Minister-CEO Roundtable on Biofuels and has championed biofuels as a stakeholder to the CEM BioFuture Campaign.
ISMA has been actively advocating for the adoption of flex-fuel vehicles, which can run on varying ethanol blends. This initiative, endorsed by the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways, aims to enhance the use of ethanol in the transportation sector, thereby supporting sustainable fuel practices.
At COP28, ISMA took a leading role in shaping the discourse on bio-energy and its role in meeting the Paris Goals. Beyond panel discussions and collective interventions, ISMA also hosted a dinner for the COP presidency's youth climate delegates to facilitate discussions with the future leaders from all over the world on agriculture and climate change.
Under the guidance of the ISMA, sugar mills are actively participating in the Ethanol Blending Programme (EBP). This initiative promotes using ethanol as a fuel to reduce carbon emissions. The initiative is supported by the NITI Aayog's comprehensive roadmap and the launch of E100 pilot projects.
ISMA's partnership with IISc, SBI, etc. to foster research on emerging Biotechnologies like SAF and Bio based Green Hydrogen and crop climate resilience.
ISMA conducts monthly knowledge sharing and capacity building sessions from leading solution providers of the world to facilitate innovation and stay updated on the best practices.
