Vehicle running on Ethanol

[dimpy.handa]

New generation of vehicles can run on 100 % ethanol ,, but currently a proportion of 85% ethanol and 5 % of petrol is being used.The biofuels unlike fossile fuels donnot increase the CO2 levels in atmosphere thus hugely reducing the pollution levels . Sugar cane and corn are few which are used to generate ethanol.
Now the question is.. with a three Ps (population , pollution , poverty)to manage and maintain can INDIA use its fourth P( potential) to utilise the resources available ( man and land) to generate this pollution free energy fuel and a better environment??

Re: Ethanol

India is a developing country. We are importing food from other countries. ie, India is not self sufficient in food. Now, as it is, the lands available are not enough for food production alone. And industrialists are fast eating our lands too. How can we use the remaining meager land for growing bio fuel crops?

yeah even sky is not the limit for innovation when we have many resources we can use them to the full to make a better standard of living....methanol which is lpg is produced by biogas production from cattle dung in rural areas

Ethanol may be distilled at home if you do not have a station in your neighborhood, but it's not simple. The ultimate do-it-yourselfers will enjoy the challenge.

Check your insurance and the warranty on your vehicle before you convert the car. You may need to get special certification or permission before altering your vehicle.
