Maurice Ile Durable was first announced by the Prime Minister as a long term vision aimed at promoting sustainable development. The main thrust of the project Mauritius Ile Durable, is to make Mauritius less dependent on fossil fuel, with a target of 65% autonomy by the year 2028 through increased utilization of renewable energy and a more efficient use of energy in general. According to Professor de Rosnay this objective can be achieved through the use of biomass, bio-ethanol, biogas, solar, wind, hydro, cogeneration and waves.
