The plan for ethanol blended fuel by 2025 will ensure reduction in petrol-diesel prices and environmental benefits. This initiative is an important step for relief on the pocket of the common man and energy security of the country.
Petrol Diesel Price: If you are troubled by expensive petrol and diesel, then the new initiative of the government can bring relief news for you. The government is preparing to bring ethanol blended petrol and diesel in the market by 2025. Its main objective is to control the prices of petrol and diesel and reduce the country’s dependence on crude oil. This initiative will not only reduce fuel prices but will also improve the environment.
How will fuel prices be reduced?
According to the government’s plan, 20% ethanol blending in petrol will reduce crude oil consumption equally. This will save foreign exchange for the country every year. Petroleum Minister Hardeep Puri said that the target is to launch ethanol blended fuel in the market by March 2025.
Reduction in import dependence and economic relief
India imports huge amount of crude oil every year, which puts a heavy burden on the economy. Ethanol blended fuel will reduce import dependence and save foreign exchange. This will strengthen the economic stability of the country.
Flex Fuel
Toyota has recently launched a car with flex fuel technology (Toyota Flex-Fuel Vehicles) in India. Transport Minister Nitin Gadkari presented it. The specialty of flex fuel vehicles is that they can run on both ethanol mixed fuel or pure petrol. This technology can bring a big change in India’s transport sector in the coming time.
Promotion of electric vehicles
The government is rapidly encouraging electric vehicles to reduce dependence on petrol and diesel. These are not only better for the environment but will also help in reducing the expenses of consumers.
Environmental benefits of ethanol blending
The use of ethanol reduces carbon emissions in fuel, thereby reducing pollution. Along with this, it is also helpful in maintaining environmental balance. The use of ethanol blended fuel is an important step towards tackling climate change.
Target of 2025 and relief for the general public
The government has set a target of 20% ethanol blending by 2025, which will give a new direction to the energy sector of the country. This initiative will prove effective in providing relief to the general public from expensive petrol-diesel and reducing daily expenses.
