Why India MUST push for Ethanol blended petrol - Rediff.com (India)

Oil represents 30% of India's export bill and they are getting worried about the rising price of oil..

The EBP programme is primarily based on indigenously produced ethanol from sugarcane molasses, which, besides augmenting fuel availability in the country, would also provide better returns for sugarcane farmers.

Further, ethanol is environment-friendly as it enhances combustion of petrol, resulting in lower emission of pollutants.

With reduced dependence on crude oil consumers can pay less for petrol and enjoy the benefits of a clean and healthy environment.

Another performance benefit from ethanol is its high octane addition to fuel. Of all the commercially viable octane boosters possible, nothing delivers more punch than ethanol. The populace still feels the ill effects of the tonnes of poisonous lead that are spewed into urban environments because of the poor decision to accept lead over ethanol as the octane additive of choice.
