3 India Energy Context Energy demand 315 million MTOE 8 times growth envisaged to % import dependent Fossil fuel based Crude oil consumption 111 million tonnes growing 5.6% per year Gasoline consumption 11 million tonnes, growing 5% per year Diesel consumption 55 million tonnes, growing 5.2% per year Administered price regime High taxes (30% of value chain) Limited alternate energy play (mainly wind) India s energy demand is estimated to grow eight times to the year
4 Global Biofuels Opportunity Aspect Gasoline Diesel Global consumption (million MT) % Blending with biofuels* 10% 5% Biofuels opportunity (million MT) Current biofuel consumption (million MT) % Penetration of biofuel opportunity 32% 24% % Penetration of total fuels 3.2% 1.2% Jatropha with Corn as intercrop Source : BP, US Energy Information Ad ministration, PFC Energy, US Chamber of Commerce, Reliance Research * Biofuels (especially biodiesel) blending limit can potentially go up to 100% which would provide upside to the above projections. Global biofuels opportunity is significant, but current market penetration of biofuels is very low. 4
5 India Biofuels Opportunity Aspect Gasoline Diesel Consumption (million MT) % Blending with biofuels* 10% 5% Biofuels opportunity (million MT) Current biofuel consumption (million MT) % Penetration of biofuel opportunity % Penetration of total fuel opportunity negligible 13% NA 1.3% NA Jatropha with Groundnut as intercrop Source : Frost & Sullivan, Govt. of India Planning Commission, Ethanol India * Biofuels blending limit can go up to 100% which would provide upside to the above projections. India biofuels opportunity is also large, but current market penetration is negligible. India has 40 million ha of wasted land 5
6 Social-Economic Opportunity Benefits Better energy security Higher farm incomes Better quality of rural life Use of marginal land Carbon Sequestering Biofuels have significant social benefits, most important among them being higher farm incomes and better rural life. 6
7 Biofuels Product/Market Products Bioethanol Biobutanol Biodiesel Renewable diesel BTL Diesel DiMethyl Ether ETBE Markets Gasoline Diesel Jet fuel Fuel oils Biofuels primarily comprise bioethanol, biobutanol and biodiesel for blending with gasoline, diesel and fuel oils. 7
8 Renewable Biomaterials Bioethanol/Biobutanol Sugars Starch Biodiesel Sugarcane, Sugar beet Corn, Sweet Sorghum, Wheat Vegetable Oils Non-edible: Jatropha, Pongamia, Jojoba, Simaruba Edible: Palm, Rape seed, Soybean, coconut, others Animal Fats and oils Algae Yeast Sugar and grain crops are used to make bioethanol, while vegetable oils, animal fats are used to make biodiesel. 8
9 Technology First generation Sugars/Starch to bioethanol Fermentation; Downstream separation and purification Oils & Fats to biodiesel Pre processing and trans-esterification Second generation Biomaterials Hybrids; Transgenics; Algae; Yeast Biomass to bioethanol/butanol Hydrolysis, fermentation, separation Gasification, fermentation, membrane separation Chemical Renewable diesel (refinery hydrotreater) Pyrolysis or gasification and FT to jet fuel August, 2007 November, 2007 December, 2009 July, 2008 Jatropha yield cycle, Andhra Pradesh, India While first generation technologies are commercially used, several second generation technologies are being developed. 9
10 Govt. of India Biofuels Policy - Summary Development of biofuels will be to utilise degraded forest and wastelands for cultivation of biofuel crops, using non-food feedstocks 20% blending of biofuels by Storage, distribution and marketing of biofuels would rest with Oil Marketing Companies (OMC). Policy proposes Minimum Purchase Price (MPP) for biodiesel by OMC s. The policy proposes Minimum Support Price (MSP) for non-edible oilseeds. R & D grants would be provided for projects involving second generation biofuels, new feedstock development, utilization of byproducts etc. Any import or export of biofuels would be permitted only to extent necessary (exports only after meeting domestic requirements). Jatropha with Black gram as intercrop GOI biofuels policy revolves around growing non-edible crops on cultivable waste lands. 10
11 Biofuels Competitiveness Challenge Competitiveness with prices of gasoline (51 Rs/L) and administered prices of diesel (41 Rs/L) Competitiveness drivers Biodiesel (farm productivity, seed oil content) Bioethanol/Biobutanol (biomass cost, enzyme cost) Byproduct value Farm productivity, seed oil content and by-product value are critical drivers of biofuels productivity. 11
12 Contents 1. Indian Biofuels Context 2. Biofuels Development Challenges 3. Reliance Biofuels Initiative 4. Summary 12
13 Biofuel Development Issues (1) Product Issues Selection, blend ratios, GHG emission savings and oxygen content. Industry Issues Feed stock availability, site, technology and competitiveness Supply chain Issues Plantation material, plantation window, produce aggregation and transportation cost Business Issues Operability, scale, economics and sustainability. There are significant development challenges for biofuels, primarily on the linkages, logistics and competitiveness. 13
14 Biofuel Development Issues (2) Farm Issues Farm productivity, Yield and intercrop income Technology Issues Feed stock engineering, second generation technology, by-product value addition and IP Socio-Economic Issues Non-food crops, feed stock cost, subsidies, sustainability and farmers long term commitment Other significant development challenges for biofuels are on the development of sustainable feedstock and technology. 14
15 Product Issues Aspect Bioethanol Biodiesel Remarks Energy content 3.5 mm BTU/bbl (67 % of gasoline) 5.3 mm BTU/bbl (90 % of diesel) 30% additional efficiency of diesel engines GHG emissions 30 % over gasoline 45 % over diesel savings (Grain-based alcohol) (Rapeseed-based BD) Fossil energy savings 20 % over gasoline 60 % over diesel Emissions Better on NOx Better on CO and unburnt hydrocarbons NOx can be improved with ignition improvements Water use in crops High Low Others Better cetane Better lubricity Lubricity useful for ultra low sulphur fuels Source: CERA Biodiesel goes twice as far and is better on GHG, fossil energy savings and emissions, as compared to bioethanol. 15
