Union Minister Hardeep S Puri Launches Ethanol 100 Fuel Initiative
Petroleum Minister Hardeep Singh Puri unveiled ‘Ethanol 100’, an automotive fuel aimed at reducing emissions and promoting sustainability. This initiative is part of a broader strategy to increase ethanol blending in petrol, with significant strides already made in enhancing availability and infrastructure across select states.
High-Octane Rating: With a high-octane rating typically between 100-105, Ethanol 100 is suitable for high-performance engines, ensuring better efficiency and power output while minimizing environmental impact.
Increased Availability: The launch of Ethanol 100 expands its availability to 183 retail petrol outlets across Maharashtra, Karnataka, Uttar Pradesh, New Delhi, and Tamil Nadu, with plans for further expansion.
Towards Blending Targets: This initiative aligns with the goal of achieving 20% ethanol blending by 2025-26, a target that has seen significant progress with the increased availability of ethanol blends like E20 and now Ethanol 100.
Investment in Infrastructure: OMCs have invested in expanding storage capacity and allied infrastructure to accommodate higher blending percentages, ensuring seamless integration of ethanol blends into the existing fuel supply chain.
