Ethanol E20
India has been aggressively promoting the blending of ethanol in petrol to reduce crude oil imports, cut carbon emissions, and provide an alternative market for surplus sugarcane and grains. The government has advanced its target of 20 per cent blending (E20) from 2030 to 2025.
Recently, several reports claimed that the use of E20 fuel reduces a vehicle's mileage. However, the petroleum ministry called these reports “largely unfounded and not supported by scientific evidence or expert analysis".
