As a trial, cars were run with 15 percent methanol mixed petrol in Pune. According to reports, a trial run was done by adding petrol mixed with methanol in Maruti and Hyundai vehicles in Pune. The way government is working in this direction, it seems that soon petrol mixed with Methanol will be available at petrol pumps across the country.
Let us tell, at present, ethanol is added to petrol, but ethanol is very expensive compared to methanol, the price of ethanol is about Rs 40 per liter, while methanol comes in Rs 20 per liter. Methanol is made from coal. Ethanol is made from sugarcane.
As far as the supply of methanol is concerned, the government is considering various import options. Methanol can be imported from China, Mexico and the Middle East. Preparations are also underway for capacity expansion of companies like RCF (National Chemical and Fertilizer), GNFC (Gujarat Narmada Valley Fertilizer Corporation) and Assam Petrochemical in the country.
Significantly, in the coming days, methanol can be used as a cooking fuel in homes. Special preparation is being done by the government for this. This experiment has started in Assam.
