Biomanifacturing of fuels and chemicals - China
Session Description
The biomanufacturing industry, utilizing biomass as a feedstock, has the potential to account for over a third of global output by 2030, with a value equivalent to nearly $30 trillion. The Chinese government recognizes biomanufacturing as a future industry and aims to establish a thriving, secure global bioeconomy in collaboration with European partners. During the EU-China session of the Industry Track EUBCE 2025, the Chinese delegation will showcase their achievements in biofuels and bio-based products. Notably, Shengquan Group will introduce the worlds first bio-refinery that employs a biological solvent to process 500,000 tons of crop residues annually. This innovative facility will produce ethanol from cellulose and hemicellulose through fermentation and bio-methanol from lignin carbon via gasification.

Advanced Biofuels - De Risking the investment and journey towards sustainability
Session Description
India is actively transitioning to a low-carbon economy with ambitious goals, includingreducing emissions intensity by 45% by 2030 and achieving net-zero emissions by 2070. Biofuels play a significant role in achieving these targets. The National biofuel policy -2018 has set the goals and direction in this regard. India has achieved 20% Ethanol blending target ahead of its target well on its way to for higher blends and sale of E100 across the country. The Biomethane or CBG program is an ambitious program to set up 5000 commercial plants to generate 15MMT of Biomethane which would replace almost 35% of gases derived from fossil fuels. India has also announced its blending targets for SAF. The session will focus on the achievements, challenges being faced and opportunities for technology deployment and investments in India
