The "Roadmap for Ethanol Blending in India 2020-25" lays out an annual plan to increase domestic ethanol production in line with target of the amended National Policy on Biofuels (2018) as well as with its Ethanol Blended Petrol (EBP) Programme to reach a blending of 20% of ethanol in petrol (E20) by 2025/26.

The roadmap proposes the following milestones:

Raise pan-India ethanol production capacity from the current 700 to 1500 crore litres.

Phased rollout of E10 fuel by April 2022.

Phased rollout of E20 from April 2023, its availability by April 2025.

Rollout of E20 material-compliant and E10 engine-tuned vehicles from April 2023.

Production of E20-tuned engine vehicles from April 2025.

Encourage use of water-sparing crops, such as maize, to produce ethanol.

Promote technology for the production of ethanol from non-food feedstock.

In June 2022, India achieved an average blending rate of 10% ethanol in petrol.

Hormuz Oil Crisis Accelerates Global EV Sales

Global electric vehicle sales have surged this year following the oil supply disruption in the Middle East and the second oil price shock in four years. The accelerating EV adoption that began with the spike in oil and fuel prices earlier this year is set to remain a trend in the global markets and could push the share of EVs in the passenger fleet above earlier expectations, analysts at Wood Mackenzie say. Challenges to accelerated adoption still remain, including the need for billions of U.S. dollars in investments in critical battery minerals…

Washington Eases Gasoline Rules as Iran Pressure Campaign Jolts Fuel Costs

Washington is tightening the screws on Iran and loosening the rules on gasoline at the same time as Americans are paying more than $4 a gallon. The Environmental Protection Agency on Thursday authorized an early switch to cheaper winter-grade gasoline, allowing sales of gasoline blended with 10% ethanol beginning September 1 rather than waiting for the normal mid-September seasonal transition. The administration says ending summer-blend requirements early could add hundreds of thousands of barrels per day to domestic gasoline supply and provide…

Solar power has simply become too cheap to fail. “We have a plentiful and cheap source of electricity that can be built quickly, almost anywhere in the world,”…
