Ethanol blending

Topic: Environment

Context:

The ethanol supply in the country to enable blending with petrol is likely to reach302 crore litres, according to the Economic Survey2021-2022.

Concept:

  • The Centre has set a target of 20% ethanol blending with petrol to be achieved by 2025 to reduce the country’s crude oil import bill, give a boost to the agriculture sector and reduce environmental pollution.
  • Ethanol supply under the Ethanol Blended Petrol (EBP) Programme is expected to exceed 302 crore litres by the end of Ethanol Supply Year (ESY) 2020-2021 (December 1, 2020 -November 30, 2021) to achieve approximately 1% blending, the Survey noted. This is an increase of 74.5% compared with the previous year.
  • The ethanol blending target for ESY 2021-22 is 10%.
  • The government last year notified mass emission standards for E12 (12% ethanol blended with petrol) and E15 (15% ethanol blended with petrol) to enable the automobile industry to manufacture E12- and E15-compliant motor vehicles.
