Summary
Ethanol-blended diesel failed safety specifications, which sharply lowered its flash point. This technical issue effectively rules out wider use of the fuel. India seeks to expand ethanol use as a transport fuel and explore new outlets. The government is also examining ethanol as a potential cooking fuel alternative. This initiative aligns with promoting cleaner cooking fuel options.
