India Advances Flexible Ethanol Blending and Biofuel Technologies for Energy Security
India is advancing its ethanol blending and broader biofuel programs to enhance energy security and sustainability. A research paper from ICRIER recommends a flexible ethanol blending strategy, maintaining a long-term E20 target but allowing temporary reductions to E15 when ethanol supply is limited or food prices rise. Meanwhile, Principal Scientific Advisor Ajay Sood highlighted progress in biofuels like methanol, biodiesel, bio-jet fuel, and green hydrogen, emphasizing their role in reducing carbon emissions and supporting transportation innovations such as hydrogen-powered trains.
