Modi launched ethanol blended fuel E20
The PM will also launch uniforms under Indian Oil's 'Unbottled' initiative. Modi will launch E20, a fuel that blends with ethanol. E20 fuel will be mixed up to 20 percent in petrol. The PM will also dedicate the helicopter factory of Hindustan Aeronautics Limited in Tumakuru. The target for India to achieve E20 fuel is 2025.


What is E-20 Petrol?
The E in E-20 is ethanol. E-20 means that the amount of ethanol in the petrol is 20 percent. As the number increases, more ethanol will also increase. At present, the petrol available in the country contains about 10 percent ethanol. At present, preparations are underway to make petrol containing 20 percent ethanol available in 11 cities of the country.


Now understand what ethanol is in simple language, it is made from biomass. Most ethanol is produced from corn and sugarcane crops. These types of things are being grown on a large scale in India. Also, in this production condition, ethanol can be prepared for automobiles in the country on a large scale.

Benefits of Ethanol?

  • After adding 20 percent ethanol to petrol, we will get a benefit of around Rs 6 per litre.
  • About 85% of India's fuel requirements are met through imports. As a result, crude oil prices have skyrocketed. The use of petrol with 20% ethanol blend in India will significantly reduce the country's imports.
  • New employment opportunities also arise when new technologies are put into practice. New jobs will be created in the original equipment manufacturing sector as well as in the component supplier and service provider sectors.
  • According to the Indian government, reaching its target of 20% ethanol in gasoline will benefit the country's agricultural industry. Farmers' income will also increase.
  • 35 percent CO2 reduction When gasoline is blended with ethanol, 35 percent less carbon-monoxide is produced. Along with this, sulfur-dioxide also comes out less. It has the potential to significantly reduce pollution.

What will be the cost of ethanol blended petrol?
According to a report by the Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs (CCEA), the current price of ethanol per liter is around Rs 65.60. While the price of petrol in Ahmedabad is around Rs 97 per liter recently. From that we can estimate with the help of a formula that the price of ethanol blended petrol can be as follows.

For example

Ethanol price per liter - Rs 65.60

Price of 20 percent ethanol - (Rs 13.12)

Petrol price per liter - Rs 97 (around)

20 percent petrol price - (Rs. 19.5)

( ie   (After adding 20 percent ethanol to petrol, we can get a profit of around Rs. 6 per litre.)
