Global Biofuels Alliance launched at G20 👇
👉India on Saturday launched the Global Biofuels Alliance, with
Prime Minister Narendra Modi urging G20 nations to join the initiative with a plea to take blending of ethanol with petrol to 20% globally.
👉Besides India, the initiating members include Argentina, Bangladesh, Brazil, Italy, Mauritius, South Africa, the UAE and the U.S. Canada and Singapore are observer countries.
👉Our proposal is to take an initiative at a global level to take ethanol blending in petrol up to 20%
👉Alliance, is focused on securing the supply of biofuels, ensuring these biofuels remain affordable and are produced sustainably.
👉GBA would help to accelerate global efforts to meet net-zero emissions targets by facilitating trade in biofuels derived from sources including plant and animal waste.
👉Biofuel is a renewable source of energy which is derived from biomass. It can be solid, liquid and gaseous and produced from organic matter in a short period of time.
👉India, which imports over 85 percent of its crude oil needs, is gradually building capacity to produce fuel from such items as crop stubble, plant waste, and municipal solid waste
👉The cost involved in biofuels is lesser when compared to other sources like petrol and diesel. India plans to build 12 bio-refineries to produce fuel from items including crop stubble, plant waste and municipal solid waste.
👉India is targeting to become carbon neutral by 2070 and is expanding use of biofuel in its transport sector.
Impt for exam 👍

Gift Hamper given by Prime Minister Narendra Modi to G20 Leaders who were in India for G20 summit
Items representing Indian Cultural Traditions gifted to G20 leaders
👉Handcrafted Sheeshamwood Sandook ( or chest) with brass Patti .....it has following items
👉Pashmina shawls -The Kashmiri Pashmina shawl is made of wool from the world’s most unique Kashmiri goat found only at a height of 14,000 feet above sea level. The wool is collected by combing (and not shearing) the undercoat of the goat. Skilled artisans hand-spin, weave, and embroider their delicate fibers using age-old processes. Pashmina was once an indicator of rank and nobility and symbolized bestowing honour.
👉Kashmiri saffron- Kashmiri saffron which is also known as red gold, is the world’s most expensive spice valued for its culinary and medicinal value
👉The Champagne Of Teas Pekoe Darjeeling and Nilgiri Tea
👉Pekoe Darjeeling and Nilgiri Tea are two illustrious gems from India's tea tapestry, epitomising the delicate art of tea cultivation and infusion.
👉Darjeeling tea is the most valued tea in the world. Only tender shoots are handpicked from shrubs, located on the misty hills of West Bengal at altitudes of 3,000-5,000 feet. The soil's unique character gets reflected in a highly aromatic and invigorating cup of tea.
👉Nilgiri Tea comes from the most spectacular mountain range in south India. Cultivated amidst the mountains' lush terrain at an elevation of 1,000-3,000 ft, the tea is relatively mild. It is renowned for its bright and brisk liquor and clean flavour, and is the preferred choice for lemon and iced tea.
👉Araku Coffee- Araku Coffee is the world’s first terroir-mapped coffee grown on plantations in Andhra Pradesh without the use of machines or chemicals. The coffee is organic and the cultivation is sustainable.
Araku Coffee is known for its unique texture and a symphony of flavors that makes for a smooth, well-balanced cup.
👉Sundarbans honey -Sundarbans multiflora mangrove honey is sourced from the world’s largest mangrove forest on the delta of the Ganga, Brahmaputra, and Meghna rivers in the Bay of Bengal. It is home to wild colonies of honeybees.
The honey is less viscous and mirrors the bio-diversity of the area. It blends the nectar of mangrove flowers such as Khalisha, Bani, and Garan. Sundarban honey is also high in flavonoids
👉Zighrana Ittar- Zighrana Ittar from Kannauj in Uttar Pradesh showcases a centuries-old tradition of perfume crafting. Artisans gather rare blossoms of jasmine and roses at dawn when their fragrance is most potent to make the perfume involving hydro-distillation.
👉Khadi Scarf-Khadi, which originated in India, is an eco-friendly clothing material beloved for its beautiful texture and versatility throughout the seasons. It can be spun into life from cotton, silk, jute or wool. It is also one of the most important symbols of India's freedom struggle and its name was coined by Mahatma Gandhi
👉Commemorative Stamps, Coins
👉The leaders were also given a coin box with commemorative stamps and coins marking India's G20 Presidency,
👉The designs of both the coins and stamps draw inspiration from India's G20 logo and theme of 'One Earth. One Family. One Future'. The two postage stamps, with a denomination ₹ 20 each, celebrate India's G20 Presidency period from 1 December, 2022 to 30 November, 2023
👉The two G20 commemorative coins have denominations of ₹ 75 and ₹ 100, signifying the completion of 75 years of India's Independence, and the beginning of 'Amrit Kaal', India's journey towards 100 years of its freedom.
