The Cabinet of Ministers this week approved the proposal presented by the Power and Energy Minister Kanchana Wijesekera, solidifying Sri Lanka’s commitment to advancing bio-fuel adoption and cooperation on a global scale.

The alliance aims to foster collaboration among leading bio-fuel producers and consumers, including countries such as Brazil, India, the United States, and other interested nations.

By joining forces, these countries seek to promote the sustainable use of biofuels, especially in the transportation and energy sectors.

The announcement was made during the India Energy Week in February 2023, where India, as the current G20 Presidency, unveiled plans to establish a global bio-fuels alliance.
