Ever wondered what ethanol is actually made of, or where it comes from before it reaches your fuel tank? As India moves towards greater ethanol blending, there’s more to the story than simply mixing fuel. In the latest episode of The Logical Indian’s “Explain It To Me”, Prof. K.K. Pant of IIT Roorkee takes us behind the making of ethanol, the water it requires, its role as a biofuel, and some common misconceptions around it. Watch till the end. #ExplainItToMe #TheLogicalIndian #Ethanol #Biofuel #IITRoorkee

Ever wondered why India’s oil bill is such an important part of the country’s economy, or how ethanol blending can impact the balance of payments? There’s more to the story than simply reducing fuel consumption. In the latest episode of The Logical Indian’s “Explain It To Me”, Prof. K.K. Pant of IIT Roorkee takes us behind India’s oil import bill, the economics of ethanol blending, its impact on imports, and how it connects to the country’s balance of payments.

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

#WATCH | "This ethanol blending in petrol has been not done overnight. It is a measured, scientifically driven, step-by-step process. In 2013 and 2014, we were blending about one and a half percent ethanol in gasoline. And this programme was targeted to have 20% blending, which is E20, completed in December 25, five years ahead of the target. This programme, the ethanol blending programme, particularly in 2018, was in a structured manner, put out for discussion and deliberation by all stakeholders. It is supported by scientific evidence, extensive testing by the automotive, manufacturers and the agencies who support them, namely the Automotive Research Association of India, ARAI and SIAM, and also it is in line with the global best practices which is followed to green the fossil fuels to lower the carbon emissions," says expert Vartika Shukla at the press conference by industry experts on ethanol.

A video circulating on social media is gaining attention where a man questions the #pricing of #petrol in India, especially after the introduction of #ethanol blending. In the clip, he points out that when petrol was earlier sold without ethanol, prices were already high. Now, even after blending ethanol—which is generally considered cheaper than pure petrol—the retail price remains almost the same, raising questions about pricing logic.\n\nThe video highlights a common public concern around fuel pricing, taxation, and blending policies, with the creator trying to simplify the issue in an easy-to-understand manner. The topic has drawn interest from viewers curious about how fuel prices are determined. 🎥: i360tutor⚠️ Disclaimer:This content is shared for news reporting, commentary, and educational purposes under fair dealing as per Section 52(1)(b) of the Indian Copyright Act, 1957.

👉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

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.

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.

All those who have suddenly “discovered” problems with their cars and fuel economy may be disappointed to revisit what the UPA itself was saying. The then UPA Petroleum Minister accused the NDA of ignoring the interests of sugarcane farmers and promised Parliament that his government would blend ethanol with petrol. He even urged people to drink less so that more ethanol could be diverted for fuel! So where were all these catastrophic claims about engines and mileage then? Funny how people’s cars never seemed to complain when ethanol blending was UPA policy, but suddenly develop “problems” when the same objective is being implemented today through a phased rollout. The policy isn’t new. Only the politics around it is.

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!! ☺️
