According to Transport minister Nitin Gadkari, his ministry is working on flexible engine, where customers will get the option to choose fuel.
Union Transport minister Nitin Gadkari has said that in coming days, the vehicle owners will have the option to decide whether they would prefer their vehicles to run on petrol or ethanol. According to Nitin Gadkari, his ministry is working on flexible engine, where customers will get the option to choose fuel.
According to Nitin Gadkari, customers will have the option of choosing 100 per cent petrol or ethanol for their vehicle engines. More emphasis is needed on making ethanol from food grains. At the moment, many options are being considered.
Sugarcane juice also shows a lot of potential in ethanol. However, against the requirement of 1600 crore litres, only 450 crore litre of ethanol exists. As a result there is short supply of ethanol for oil companies. Now second generation ethanol companies are setting up plants through biomass.
Benefits of ethanol
- Ethanol will be available at 50 to 55 rupees per liter. Although, it will give lower mileage than petrol, but still there will be considerable savings.
- Ethanol is made from sugarcane and can be made anywhere in India. India will not have to depend on any other countries for ethanol.
- Ethanol will benefit the farmers of India the most. Actually, ethanol is made from sugarcane and it is cultivated in many places in the country.
- While big oil companies benefit from petrol, the use of ethanol will benefit the farmers of India the most.
- The use of ethanol will save India's money and farmers will also benefit. The money coming from petrol sales goes to the accounts of big companies and Gulf countries.
- Ethanol is also friendly to the environment. Due to this, pollution in the car running is less than that of petrol.
- Ethanol is much less hot than petrol.
- Alcohol in ethanol flies quickly, due to which the engine does not heat up quickly.
