IN INDIA 2020-25 Achieving energy security and transitioning to a thriving low-carbon economy is critical for a growing nation like India. Blending locally produced ethanol with petrol will help India strengthen its energy security, enable local enterprises and farmers to participate in the energy ec...
by 2025. in 2014, approximately 1.5 per cent of ethanol was blended in india. ethanol concentration in petrol currently stands at 8.5 per cent. this article will provide information about the e-100 project in the context of the ias exam . what is the goal of the e-100 project? the e-...
In India, the recent studies have reported that the present economics of molasses-based ethanol production is not in the favor of commercial blending of ethanol in petrol. The study has indicated that if the government is targeting to bring into effect 10% blending by the year 2016–2017, as...
The article reports on a statement by India's Minister of Petroleum and Natural Gas Shri Murli Deora to increase its 5% ethanol blending program to 10% in the next few months in anticipation of a national blending mandate. A 5% blend of ethanol has already been successfully introduced in the...

The increased percentage of oxygen allows a better oxidation of the gasoline hydrocarbons with the consequent reduction in the emission of CO and aromatic compounds. Related to MTBE, ethanol has greater octane booster properties, it is not toxic, and does not contaminate water sources. Nevertheless,...
Anhydrous ethanol can be blended with gasoline (petrol) for use in gasoline engines, but with high ethanol content only after engine modifications to meter increased fuel volume since pure ethanol contains only 2/3 the energy of an equivalent volume of pure gasoline. High percentage ethanol ...
(7–100-nm diameter), PM100-800 nm, BC, PM2.5, and ozone concentrations scaled for a 50-percentage point shift in the gasoline share in the flex fleet, from 30 to 80%. Induced by the most marked episode of fluctuation in ethanol prices in the past decade, shifts in gasoline use ...
In higher combinations, the more thermal efficiency can be attributed to more ethanol octane number relative to petrol. The higher level allows for a compact quantity of gasoline due to the fuel's capacity to resist auto-ignition. Higher-level compression usually means higher performance to develop...
The Percentage of ethanol blended with petrol by oil marketing companies (OMCs) fell to 11.72% in August this year from 11.77% in July, due to unavailability of feedstock such as rice. The Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas (MoPNG) attributed the decline in blending to the discontinuation...
