Rise in the production of the bio-technologically important fuel ethanol by the use of nanomaterial

摘要

Mixing of ethanol in petrol and diesel has been made mandatory world wide to reduce dependence on OPEC countries to curb the monopolistic business of crude oil. U.S. has enacted legislations for biofuels by framing nine acts in only 20 years, right from 'Energy Security Act' 1978 upto 'Energy Conservation Reauthorization Act' 1998. We can therefore imagine how importance the ethanol has been given globally. By blending just 10 % ethanol, India stands to save 10 billion litres of petrol annually. The import price of ethanol is Rs 21.50 a litre hence there will be little chance of importing ethanol.
