In the DataSpot podcast, we try to demystify economic data or indicators for you. We will attempt to answer the practicalities of various economic indicators and concepts rather than their theory. We will try and answer questions like, how is a particular indicator calculated or constructed. What are the important assumptions made in calculating that data? And what is its practical relevance? So, the next time you hear about certain data, you appreciate the nuances and limitations of the data rather than be dismissive of it.

S2E6: Ethanol: From Farm to Fuels

If you think that mixing drinks is meant for humans alone, then you might be wrong. Well, humans have developed cocktails for our vehicles too and they are called biofuels. Although the name is too boring for cocktails, they are very fancy. One of the biofuels is named ethanol-blended petrol. The recipe is simple: mix ethanol and petrol in a ratio of 10:90. USA and Brazil are at advanced stages where they are mixing more than 50-80% ethanol. India is in third place globally when it comes to ethanol production. And we are progressing at a rapid pace. India has a natural advantage in it as it is one of the top producers of sugarcane. And Ethanol is sugarcane’s by-product. If we become successful in blending more and more ethanol each year, then our dependence on oil will start declining. We all know that we import millions of barrels of oil per day, and we also know that oil is a finite resource. So, mixing ethanol can make us more self-reliant and also increase farm incomes by making a byproduct more valuable. So, what is India’s Ethanol policy? Where are we heading towards? You can know all this in this episode.
