Question 3 of 5
3. Question
Consider the following statements.
- The government of India has advanced the target for 20 per cent ethanol blending in petrol (E20) to 2025 from 2030.
- The ethanol blended petrol is corrosive in nature.
- Use of ethanol-blended petrol decreases emissions such as carbon monoxide (CO), hydrocarbons (HC) and nitrogen oxides (NOx).
Which of the above statements is/are correct?
Correct
Solution: d)
The government of India has advanced the target for 20 per cent ethanol blending in petrol (also called E20) to 2025 from 2030. E20 will be rolled out from April 2023.
The use of E20 will require new engine specifications and changes to the fuel lines, as well as some plastic and rubber parts due to the fuel’s corrosive nature.
The engines, moreover, will need to be recalibrated to achieve the required power-, efficiency- and emission-level balance due to the lower energy density of the fuel.
