A Pan-Global Convergence of Talent and Capital

Attracting thousands of delegates from over 60 countries, the conference will feature the top 500 global experts, innovators, and decision-makers driving biofuels, advanced biomass technologies, and circular bioeconomy solutions.

Unmatched Knowledge, Technical, and Market Intelligence

As Gujarat cements its position as India’s premier biomass energy powerhouse, the Gujarat State Biomass Mission Chapter unveils a landmark report spotlighting the ‘Top 50’ Leaders driving the state’s industrial bioenergy transformation.

This authoritative whitepaper profiles pioneering companies and innovators deploying CBG clusters, advanced biofuels, and biomass power solutions across Gujarat’s vibrant industrial landscape—from refineries and chemicals to power generation and agri-processing hubs.

Packed with project case studies, technology roadmaps, and investment insights, it serves as the definitive directory for enterprises aligning with Gujarat’s SATAT 2.0 incentives, CBAR frameworks, and global sustainable energy standards.

Game-Changing Commercial Engagements

From mega-investor forums to multi-billion-dollar PPP announcements, venture capital pitches, and cross-continental trade missions, this is where landmark strategic partnerships are formed and India asserts itself as the preeminent global biomass energy marketplace.

Transformational Policy Influence

High-level ministerial dialogues, MAHAPREIT and other PSUs and multi-agency collaborations, and Global South think tanks will craft new regulatory frameworks and trade policies solidifying India’s leadership role in post-COP29 carbon neutrality agendas.
