How ethanol-blended petrol helps in lowering vehicular emissions
Increasing pollution levels have been a major cause of concern in India, and the government has taken many steps to promote environmental sustainability in this regard. There has indeed been a significant rise in the number of electric and CNG vehicles on the roads, but a solution was still needed for the enormous number of petrol vehicles that already exist in the country. In order to find a solution to this problem, the government has launched the Ethanol Blended Petrol (EBP) program in India. The usage of this product in vehicles results in better quality combustion and lowers the release of pollutants like Carbon Monoxide and many kinds of unburned Hydrocarbons. Let us now understand in further detail how the usage of ethanol-blended petrol helps in significantly lowering vehicular emissions. Restricting CO and HC emissions One of the chemical properties of ethanol is that its oxygen content is high, which facilitates the process of combustion. Ethanol manufacturing compan...
