3. • Ethanol, or ethyl alcohol, is a type of alcohol that is
commonly used as a biofuel, a beverage, and an
industrial solvent.
• It is a renewable, plant-derived fuel made primarily
from crops such as corn, sugarcane, or wheat.
• Ethanol is a key ingredient in alcoholic beverages
and has various industrial applications, including as
a solvent in the pharmaceutical and cosmetic
industries.
• Its production involves the fermentation, followed by
distillation to concentrate the ethanol.
• Ethanol plays a pivotal role in shaping sustainable
and multifaceted solutions across different sectors.
What is Ethanol?

4. • Flex Fuel, also known as flexible fuel, is an alternative
to conventional gasoline used in vehicles.
• It is a blend of ethanol or methanol mixed with
traditional gasoline, offering a viable alternative fuel
source.
• Ethanol plays a key role in manufacturing flex fuel.
• Ethanol acts as an oxygen-enhancing additive with a
high-octane rating and the characteristic of burning
completely.
• This fuel is stored in the vehicle's fuel tank and used by
the engines as a combined fuel source, providing a
substitute for pure gasoline.
What is Flex Fuel?

5. • Depending upon the mixture and blending of ethanol
and petrol, flex fuel is available in different variants.
• For e.g.: E10 is the fuel with 10% ethanol
and 90% petrol; E15 is 15% ethanol
and 85% petrol. E85 is 85% ethanol and 15% petrol,
whereas E100 is 100 % ethanol.
• Likewise, depending on the percentage of methanol
blended, the flex fuel made using methanol can
be M85 or M100.
Types of Flex Fuel

6. • By 2025, at 20% blending level, ethanol demand will increase to 1016 Crore liters.
Therefore, the worth of the ethanol industry will jump by over 500% from around
`9,000 Crore to over `50,000 Crore.
• Estimated 165 LMT of surplus grain will be utilized annually from 2025 to produce
ethanol which would result in 30,000 crore payment to farmers.
Flex Fuel’s Presence on the Indian Stage

7. • Ethanol's use as fuel dates back to 1978, when Brazil
successfully ran a car on 100% ethanol.
• In response to environmental concerns, countries globally are
now adopting eco-friendly alternatives, including biofuels.
• The push for Net Zero by 2050 has led to the rapid
acceptance of flex fuel as a sustainable transportation
solution.
• Brazil leads in adopting E100 fuel (100% ethanol), while the
US (E85), Canada, Europe (especially Sweden), and India
(targeting E20 by 2025) are also embracing flex fuel.
• The demand for ethanol in flex fuel is driving production, with
the US (corn-based) and Brazil (sugarcane-based)
contributing to 82% of global ethanol production.
