Sugaronline India Report – Too many headwinds may hamper India’s ethanol push

Studies show that carbon monoxide emissions can be reduced by up to 50% in two-wheelers and 30% in four-wheelers with 20% ethanol-blended petrol (E20). Ethanol’s higher octane rating compared to petrol allows for higher engine compression ratios, enhancing engine performance. However, E20 ethanol-blended petrol does not fully offset the lower fuel efficiency of ethanol, which
