Ever wondered why ethanol became a talking point only recently, when ethanol-blended petrol has already been used across India for years? If vehicles have been running on blended fuel for over two years, what changed in June that suddenly put ethanol at the centre of public debate? In this episode of The Logical Indian’s 'Explain It To Me', Tushar Gandhi, a public affairs expert with nearly two decades of experience in regulated sectors, unpacks India’s 25-year ethanol journey and the debate around E85. #ExplainItToMe #TheLogicalIndian #Ethanol #EthanolBlending #E85 [ethanol, ethanol blending, E85, petrol, automotive industry, The Logical Indian]

Did a simple ethanol check myself yesterday! Watch it till the end! Took 170 mL of E20 petrol, added 20 mL of water, shook it well, and after the layers separated, the water/ethanol layer measured 40 mL. That suggests roughly 20 mL of ethanol in 170 mL of fuel around 11.8% ethanol (roughly E12), not E20. If my calculations are correct, then I have a genuine question: has the ethanol content quietly been reduced from E20 to E12 temporarily because of a widespread backlash? or is there another explanation for these results? Either way, this also shows how readily ethanol attracts water and what moisture inside a fuel tank can potentially do over time. Happy to be corrected if my calculations or the test method are wrong!! ☺️

India is increasing ethanol blending in petrol from 20% to 30%. But what exactly does that mean for your car, fuel bills, and the environment? In this video, we break down what ethanol blending actually is, why governments across the world promote it, and how India’s E30 push could affect everyday drivers. While higher ethanol blends may help reduce oil imports, support farmers, and lower certain emissions, they could also lead to lower mileage, more frequent refuelling, and potential compatibility issues for older vehicles. The video also looks at the environmental concerns around large-scale ethanol production, including water usage and pressure on agricultural land. Note: In its May 15 notice, the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) established standards for E22, E25, E27, and E30 fuel blends. However, the Government of India has not yet announced a nationwide commercial rollout timeline or mandated E30 petrol at retail fuel stations. Keep watching DeKoder for more such explainers. #EthanolBlending #E30 #Petrol #India #FuelPrices #Cars #Climate #Biofuel #Explained #DeKoder

👉My question to the Transport Minister is regarding ethanol blending. Earlier, the blending level of ethanol was 10%, and recently it was increased to 20%. ❓Has the government conducted any scientific studies or consulted research associations, such as the one in Pune, before increasing the blending percentage? 👉Another concern is that customers are not aware of ethanol blending in petrol, and retail shops are not displaying any details about it. It is reported that many retail shops are blending ethanol more than 20%, which may affect the mechanical side of vehicles. ❓I also have a question for the Petroleum and Natural Gas Minister. Given the current excess ethanol production in the country, are there plans to explore alternative uses for it? : Benny Behanan ji in Lok Sabha

His name is Sarthak Goswami, and I believe the entire country needs to watch his reporting, understand it, and become more aware. If this isn't stopped now, it may never be stopped. This video gives you an idea of how dangerous ethanol factories can be. Not only that, producing ethanol also consumes a huge amount of water, as many of you may already know. The Ethanol Minister seems to be prioritizing personal interests over the risks of pollution and worsening water shortages. Across the country, many people oppose ethanol blending—except, it seems, the Ethanol Minister and his son. What are your thoughts on this?🤔

E10 EXPERIMENT SHOWS WHY WATER IN FUEL CAN KILL YOUR ENGINE 🚨 HOST: We added only 40 ml water to E10 petrol. After shaking, look at the bottom layer. It has almost doubled. EXPERT: Water has pulled the ethanol down. That bottom layer is now water plus ethanol, and the top is almost pure petrol. HOST: What happens if this goes into the fuel tank? EXPERT: If that layer reaches the engine, it may misfire or not start at all. HOST: And E20 makes this worse? EXPERT 😳: Yes. With E20, there is double ethanol, so if water enters the tank, the separation problem becomes more severe.

Corn ethanol was sold as green fuel. It was meant to cut emissions, improve energy security, and support rural America. Instead, it turns out corn ethanol depends on fossil fuels at every stage: tractors, trucks, fertilizer, pesticides, refineries, chemicals. Analysis found corn ethanol can actually increase CO2 emissions by 28% compared with gasoline. It also pushes farmland into fuel production, which raises food prices, increases water use, and worsens pollution. Big agriculture cashed in. The rest of us paid for it.

The irony is hard to miss. The Congress-led UPA government had fixed the price for oil companies to procure ethanol for blending with petrol at ₹27 per litre in 2010, years before the BJP came to power. The decision was part of the Ethanol Blended Petrol programme. Ethanol blending was clearly a “dream” of the UPA. The problem? Like so many of their other “dreams”, they implemented very little. Now, after the Modi government has actually taken ethanol blending from a policy aspiration to a nationwide reality, they want to claim credit and blame the BJP for a policy they themselves initiated. You cannot have it both ways.

#WATCH | Delhi: On ethanol, Vikram Gulati, Country Head and Executive Vice President (Corporate Affairs and Governance) of Toyota Kirloskar Motor, says, "...I think there is a lot of misunderstanding about the fuel. For example, if you look at it from the automotive sector, there is a lot of myth that if you use E20 blended fuel, vehicles will get damaged. It's a myth. It doesn't happen this way. There's a lot of myth about the amount of mileage loss or the fuel efficiency loss. Yes, there is some fuel efficiency loss, no doubt. But it is not so big as it is being made out to be...E85 and E100, that is, 85% ethanol and 100 % ethanol, are not meant for regular cars. It is meant for a different type of technology, which is called a flex fuel vehicle. This vehicle can take any mix of ethanol. So people need not worry. E20 is the standard fuel that will be available, and it is compatible with old vehicles and new vehicles. All vehicles sold after 1st of April 2023 are fully materially compliant with E20. And people need to be reassured that in 2021, before we went into E20, there was a very detailed scientific study done by the leading automobile testing agency in the country, which is ARAI (Automotive Research Association of India). It clearly established that the possible damage to cars and two wheelers which are old is not there. It's very insignificant. And it also established that the fuel efficiency loss is to the extent of 2 to 4 per cent, not significant." On ethanol, he says, "As per the latest statistics from the government, the program so far has helped save 1.9 trillion rupees. Out of that, 1,60,000 crores has gone to farmers. So in the case of India, it's not only helped us to in some way mitigate the energy crisis, but it's also helped us to help the farmers...The reason why not just India, but many other countries are doing it is for energy security, for the agrarian economy, as well as for fighting climate change and environmental purposes."

'If Ethanol Costs More Than Petrol...': Tehseen Poonawalla Targets Modi Govt Over E20 Policy Political analyst Tehseen Poonawalla has criticised the Modi government over its ethanol blending policy, citing a written reply by the Union Government in Parliament. He claimed the reply confirms that ethanol costs more per litre than petrol, questioning why costlier ethanol is being blended with petrol if the stated objective is to reduce costs. Poonawalla also alleged that sugarcane farmers receive limited financial benefit, while ethanol distilleries are the primary beneficiaries of the policy. He further questioned the government's claim that ethanol blending helps conserve foreign exchange, alleging that India imports industrial ethanol from the United States despite having domestic production capacity. Describing the policy as an "ethanol scam", he demanded answers on who benefits from the current ethanol blending system. #tehseenpoonawalla #ethanol #petrolprice #modigovernment #fuelprices #parliament #sugarcane Tehseen Poonawalla Official 🇮🇳

Claims that India's ethanol blending programme is causing a food crisis don't match the facts. India has reached around 20% ethanol blending while maintaining record foodgrain production. Ethanol is produced from surplus sugarcane, damaged food grains, maize, and other approved feedstocks. The programme has reduced crude oil imports, saved foreign exchange, increased farmers' incomes, and lowered emissions. Even as many Punjab farmers have praised the benefits of maize cultivation and ethanol-linked demand, anti-ethanol narratives have grown louder ahead of elections. The contrast suggests politics may be shaping the debate more than farmers' experiences. India's ethanol mission is strengthening farmers, energy security, and self-reliance.

The 2021 ARAI report is often cited as evidence against E20 fuel, but that is a misrepresentation of its purpose. The report was not intended to oppose higher ethanol blending. Instead, it was designed to provide a technical roadmap for its safe and effective implementation. It identified potential challenges in advance so that manufacturers could improve fuel-system components and ensure vehicle compatibility before the nationwide rollout.
