LUCKNOW The retail sale of indigenous biodiesel (B100) directly to consumers will soon be permitted in Uttar Pradesh with the Yogi Adityanath government having already issued draft guidelines in this regard, said officials dealing with the issue.
The New and Renewable Energy Development Agency (NEDA), the UP government’s nodal body for the purpose, has invited public comments and suggestions to the draft guidelines for production, storage, distribution and sale of biodiesel in the state after the government recently issued the Bioenergy Policy-2022.
“We have floated draft guidelines for production and sale of biodiesel in UP and the government will soon issue final guidelines incorporating the suggestions that are received from the stake holders,” said project officer Ajay Singh.
