Tokyo, June 26 (Jiji Press)–The Japanese and Indian governments will establish a framework to promote vehicles that run on biogas, viewed as an environmental-friendly energy source, Jiji Press learned Friday. The two sides will aim to increase the number of plants in India that manufacture methane from fermented cow dung for compressed natural gas vehicles to 1,000. Japan’s Suzuki Motor Corp., which holds the top share in India’s passenger car market, will cooperate on the framework. The two governments will exchange a memorandum of understanding when Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi visits India for three days from Wednesday. In India, Suzuki has begun producing biogas with Global South subsidies from the Japanese government. The company aims to further promote compressed natural gas vehicles, which account for over 20 pct of new automobile sales in India. With a population of about 1.4 billion, India is the world’s third-largest energy-consuming country after China and the United States, but it relies heavily on imports for crude oil. Therefore, the Indian government is pinning hopes on Suzuki’s initiative. END [Copyright The Jiji Press, Ltd.]
