    About the conference

    One idea runs through the day: how India can turn waste and renewable resources into fuel and energy.

    The question in this room

    How can India turn waste and renewable resources into fuel, energy and energy security?

    Why it matters

    Most of India’s used oil never reaches a re-refinery, though most of it could be turned back into base oil.

    1.3million tonnes

    of used lubricating oil generated in India a year (industry estimate).

    ~15%formally recovered

    goes through formal recycling; the rest is largely burnt as fuel or handled informally.

    70–80%back as base oil

    of used oil can be re-refined into high-quality base oil, using far less energy than virgin base oil.

    Source: Industry estimates cited by Indian Oil and Re Sustainability (2026); re-refining yield from global research cited in the same announcements.

    The agenda in one story

    Turning waste into fuel and energy

    The day follows one idea — how India can turn waste and renewable resources into fuel and energy. Outcome focus: practical roadmaps, feedstock security, technology choices, offtake and investment readiness.

    1. 01
      Future of the fuel cycle

      Which fuels India needs, and why energy security matters.

    2. 02
      Waste as an answer

      Can waste become fuel and cut both pollution and imports?

    3. 03
      Used oil & EPR

      How to collect, track and re-refine old engine oil — and what the rules require.

    4. 04
      Waste to hydrogen

      Real projects, real costs — and whether it can be a business.

    5. 05
      Biogas to CBG

      Farm, food and city waste into gas for vehicles.

    6. 06
      Global lessons

      What other markets teach India on technology, policy and investment.

    7. 07
      Beyond E20

      More ethanol in petrol, flex-fuel vehicles and the pumps to support them.

    8. 08
      Call to action

      Key takeaways and next steps.

    Know the language

    A short glossary so first-timers and specialists start from the same page.

    Re-refining

    Cleaning used oil so it becomes base oil again.

    CBG

    Compressed Biogas — biogas cleaned and compressed to run vehicles, like CNG.

    E20 / E100

    Petrol with 20% ethanol / pure ethanol used as fuel.

    Flex-fuel vehicle

    A vehicle that runs on petrol or higher ethanol blends.

    Pyrolysis

    Heating waste without oxygen to produce oil, gas or char.

    TRL

    Technology Readiness Level — a 1–9 scale of how mature a technology is.
