| Abstract: | ABSTRACT As India navigates the intertwined challenges of energy security, environmental concerns, and a burgeoning transportation sector, ethanol emerges as a promising biofuel solution. This research delves into the feasibility and impact of increasing ethanol blends in India's transportation fuels, focusing on advancements and hurdles encountered between 2019 and 2022. Feasibility assessment: Production Potential: We analyse India's evolving ethanol production landscape, encompassing advancements in feedstock diversification beyond sugarcane, including cellulosic biomass and nonfood crops. The efficacy of second-generation technologies and the role of government policies and incentives in bolstering production are critically examined. Technological Compatibility: The compatibility of existing and next-generation vehicle fleets with higher ethanol blends (E20+) is meticulously assessed. We evaluate the adaptability of engines to accommodate higher ethanol content, investigate infrastructure requirements for ethanol distribution and storage, and address potential fuel quality concerns to ensure seamless integration. Economic Viability: The research sheds light on the economic implications of transitioning towards higher ethanol blends. We scrutinize factors like cost-competitiveness with fossil fuels, potential import substitution and its impact on India's trade balance, and the role of carbon pricing mechanisms in incentivizing ethanol adoption. Impact Evaluation: Environmental Benefits: We quantify the potential reduction in greenhouse gas emissions and air pollutants through increased ethanol usage, analyzing its contribution to meeting India's Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) and enhancing air quality standards. Energy Security: The research assesses the potential reduction in India's dependence on fossil fuel imports, thereby bolstering energy security. We evaluate the contribution of ethanol to diversifying energy sources and mitigating geopolitical vulnerabilities associated with fluctuating oil prices. Socioeconomic Impact: The potential impact of higher ethanol blends on farmer income, rural development, and job creation is meticulously examined. We explore the role of ethanol production facilities in revitalizing rural economies and enhancing livelihoods.

Feedstock availability: Ensuring sustained and diverse feedstock availability to keep pace with increased ethanol demand. Policy inconsistencies: Streamlining and strengthening biofuel policies to provide long-term certainty for investors and producers. Public awareness: Addressing public concerns regarding engine compatibility, fuel quality, and potential price fluctuations. The research proposes concrete recommendations to address these challenges and pave the way for a successful ethanol blending program in India, such as: Targeted infrastructural investments: Prioritizing the development of ethanol storage and distribution infrastructure in strategic locations. Promoting diverse feedstock sources: Supporting research and development of second-generation technologies and incentivizing utilization of non-food crops for ethanol production. Policy coherence and stability: Implementing long-term, consistent biofuel policies that offer fiscal incentives and regulatory certainty. Comprehensive awareness campaigns: Educating the public about the benefits and safety of higher ethanol blends and addressing misinformation. |
