Listing out the benefits of using Ethanol blended petrol, Shri Pradhan said that it will not only help in value addition for the farmers produce but will also reduce foreign exchange expenditure. He said that added benefits of blended petrol would be in the form of employment generation, entrepreneurship promotion and environment protection. He said that Ethanol blended petrol was introduced in 2003 but the process got impetus only in 2014-15 when new government took policy decisions to incentivize petrol blending.
Shri Pradhan said that there is a demand for Ethanol for blending with petrol but there are technological and financial challenges which needs to be overcome. The Petroleum Minister called upon various departments of Government, State Governments, Academic and Research Institutions to work together to find solution to these challenges. Shri Pradhan said that molasses to Ethanol conversion is already going on and the Government has taken up second generation of lignocelluloses to Ethanol production to utilize agricultural residues/wastes, and achieve the target of 10% Ethanol blending.
The National Seminar was aimed at accelerating the EBP programme in the country and to draw up a roadmap for establishing ethanol industry from lignocellulosic route thus reducing the foreign exchange outflow, generate rural employment and protect environment.
