INDIA and ETHANOL
was watching a serial in one of the local channels where they were discussing about bio fuels
Bio Fuels are those which are generated from various biological substances example plants.Ethanol extracted from these plants are mixed with petrol . New generation of vehicles can run on 100 % ethanol ,, but currently a proportion of 85% ethanol and 5 % of petrol is being used.The biofuels unlike fossile fuels donnot increase the CO2 levels in atmosphere thus hugely reducing the pollution levels . Sugar cane and corn are few which are used to generate ethanol.
Brazil , US of A are the countires which are currenlty promoting and using bio fuell. Brazil has been running on these resources since past 30 years.
Now the question is.. with a three Ps (population , pollution , poverty)to manage and maintain can INDIA use its fourth P( potential) to utilise the resources available ( man and land) to generate this pollution free energy fuel and a better environment??
interested??
