Cheap Diesel: After giving cheap petrol, now the Indian government is preparing to give cheap diesel to the public. Indian Government Minister Nitim Gadkari himself has said this. Nitin Gadkari recently said during an address that now cheap diesel will also be made in India on the lines of cheap petrol. Just as ethanol is being used in making petrol, similarly Isobutinol will be used in making diesel.

What is Isobutinol?
First of all let us know what is isobutinol. Isobutanol is a type of alcohol and industrial chemical, which is mainly used in the manufacturing of fuel, paint, coating, solvent and other chemicals. It is also seen as an alternative to traditional fuels, because it is considered useful as biofuel in the energy sector.

Benefits of diesel with isobutanol
Just as E-85 fuel has many benefits, diesel with isobutanol also has many benefits. Learn here:

• This can help in reducing the total cost of diesel.
• Isobutanol mixed diesel will reduce the dependence on import of crude oil.
• With the help of this diesel, carbon emissions and pollution will be reduced.
• Farmers can get extra income by producing from agricultural residues and biomass.
• The efficiency and combustion process of the vehicle engine can be improved.
• Compared to traditional diesel, it is considered a more environment-friendly fuel.
• Can help in increasing energy security and promoting alternative fuels.

Let us tell you that the government plans to mix 15 percent isobutanol in diesel, so that the price of diesel can be reduced. This will have little impact on the public’s pockets. Although the government has launched ethanol fuel, at present people have less knowledge about it, so they are avoiding filling their vehicles with this fuel. In such a situation, the government taking such risk for diesel is creating a situation of confusion.
