The association is confident that the expo will generate significant momentum for the biogas industry. The Bio-Energy Pavilion 2024 is also supported by government ministries and prominent organisations, including the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy, the National Institute of Bio-Energy, and the World Bioenergy Association.

The three-day event will take place at the India Expo Centre in Greater Noida, Uttar Pradesh, and is recognised as one of India's leading platforms for renewable energy innovations. It will showcase developments across various sectors like bio-energy, solar power, wind energy, electric vehicles, and energy storage solutions. The event aims to bolster India's journey towards achieving its net-zero emissions target.

Indian Biogas President AR Shukla reflected on the success of last year's Bioenergy Pavilion, noting the various initiatives that were announced. "We anticipate generating significant interest from investors during this year's event." Shukla said the expo is expected to witness over 50,000 attendees, driven by the growing focus on the bio-energy sector and the government's continued support.

Over the years, the REI Expo has established itself as a leading platform for stakeholders in the renewable energy space to showcase cutting-edge technologies, products, and solutions while fostering meaningful industry interactions. India holds significant promise for biogas development, with its potential to generate around 62 million tonnes of compressed biogas annually, equivalent to replacing nearly 7 per cent of the country's current fuel consumption. The biogas sector, thus, presents a key solution for reducing dependency on imported fuels while addressing environmental concerns.
