What Is E100 Fuel? Govt Clears 100% Ethanol Petrol Alternative To Cut Oil Imports

Summary

The Indian government has approved the use of E100 fuel, a petrol alternative made almost entirely from ethanol, in an effort to reduce dependence on imported crude oil. This move allows for the use of 100 percent ethanol fuel, which can be produced domestically using agricultural feedstocks such as sugarcane and maize. Several major automobile manufacturers, including Hyundai and Maruti Suzuki, are preparing to introduce vehicles capable of running on high ethanol fuels in the coming months.
