Towards a sustainable and viable bio-fuel programme

of blending 5% bio-diesel by 2012 and 10% bio-diesel by 2017, state support is critical for ensuring production of feedstock and making it available to oil marketing companies on a viable price but also on a sustainable basis.

Recourse to NREGA: The issue of production of feedstock can partly be addressed by falling back upon existing state initiatives and programmes for generating employment in rural areas where most waste lands are located. This would assist in not only targeting the feedstock demand but also address the pricing issue to some extent. The centre has made budgetary provisions to generate employment in rural areas under schemes issued under NREGA; the rural workforces who are beneficiary under such schemes can play a role in meeting part of the demand for feedstock for bio-diesel. If the “feedstock” production is targeted under such schemes, the results, benefits and contributions to the economy are more measurable. While in some states, active recourse to schemes under NREGA and other initiatives has been taken for production of feedstock for bio-diesel, the efforts are not enough for meeting the required demand. There is a need for intervention by the Centre and State to give impetus to production of feedstock in states where it is feasible.

Pricing: Concerns with regard to pricing of blended products have been raised. Oil marketing companies do not want to bear any additional expense in meeting the cost and sale of blended products. The manufactures want the price to be at par with the production cost. In light of the concerns, steps need to be taken to ensure that the investors and developer do not bear an additional cost and are assured returns on their investments. Policy decisions need to be taken to provide state support (in the form or subsidy) to (a) farmers/producers of feedstock crops used for making bio-fuel to hedge any negative impact on the pricing of the final product (b) builders of bio-diesel manufacturing plants, to ensure fixed costs and the investor risks of new plants are lowered and return on investment is improved (c) oil marketing companies, to ensure they are not burdened with additional costs which makes the marketing of such fuels unattractive If in case subsidy support cannot be extended to all phases of the bio-fuel production cycle, steps are taken to pass additional cost to the beneficiaries or consumers of the end product. The approaches to pricing would...
