'Not Against E20 But...': Anand Ranganathan Gives A New Turn To India's Ethanol Debate Author Anand Ranganathan says he's not against ethanol blending or E20 Fuels as it helps India's energy security. He's against how India is producing ethanol. On Scrutiny, he argues that crops like sugarcane, maize and rice come with a massive environmental cost and points to alternatives like the mahua tree as a potentially more sustainable solution. Could science offer a better path? #Scrutiny #AnandRanganathan #Ethanol #Mahua #EnergyPolicy #India Anand Ranganathan Aditi Prasad

With a phased implementation of E20, including the introduction of compatible vehicles and RON 95 fuel standards, India achieved its 20% ethanol blending target ahead of schedule.

#WATCH | The Petroleum Dealers Association has urged the Centre to reconsider the rollout of E20 (20% ethanol-blended petrol), claiming the fuel is causing operational and customer-related challenges at fuel stations. Association President Sasanka Sekhar Sahu said many vehicles on Indian roads, including several BS6 models, were not originally designed for a 20% ethanol blend. He alleged that the fuel has led to complaints of clogged carburettors and other mechanical issues, with frustrated customers often confronting petrol pump owners despite dealers having no role in fuel policy. The Centre has been pushing the adoption of E20 fuel as part of its strategy to reduce crude oil imports, lower emissions and boost ethanol production. However, dealers have now called for a review of the policy, arguing that vehicle compatibility concerns need to be addressed. #E20 #Petrol #Fuel #Ethanol #Automobile #BS6 #India #BreakingNews #Moneycontrol

Pradeep Bhandari just expose the truth behind Anand Ranganathan's "10,000 litres of water" claim. Many people think this means ethanol plants use 10,000 litres of water to make 1 litre of ethanol. That is not true. Modern ethanol plants use only about 3–5 litres of process water to produce 1 litre of ethanol. Most plants also use Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD) technology, where the water is cleaned, recycled, and reused instead of being wasted. Also, ethanol is mostly made from surplus food grains and maize, giving farmers extra income while helping India reduce crude oil imports. Pradeep Bhandari(प्रदीप भंडारी)🇮🇳

'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 🇮🇳

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!! ☺️
