Increase in import of crude oil has become a major problem for the country. Now, the
Indian
government is formulating a national policy to promote bio-fuels. A host of fiscal
incentives are
on the cards. The aim is to ensure sustainable production, conversion and application of
biofuels. As per a proposal before the Cabinet by the ministry of new and renewable
energy, a
national bio-fuel development board will be set up. The board's mandate is to partly
replace
petrol and diesel for transport and other applications.
The policy will lay emphasis on research and development (R&D) for production,
processing
and commercialisation of bio-fuels like ethanol and jatropha. To promote bio-fuel
development
the government is aiming at fiscal sops. The fiscal sops for the bio-fuel sector could
include
excise and sales tax/VAT exemption. There will be a plan of action to use waste and
degraded
land for cultivation of jatropha. In some states, large-scale jatropha cultivation has
already
begun. This will be expanded in scope by providing economy of scale.
21. The efforts made by the government will reduce he increasing and worrisome onus of
crude
oil imports on the fisc through gradual limited replacement of petroleum products with
bio-fuels
22. Oil extracted from jatropha seed can be used as bio-diesel.
23. Many developed countries extensively use ethanol-blended petro fuels in the auto
sector.
24. India's oil marketing companies have not shown interest in tapping the market for
bio-fuels. thestudentdaily.com
25. India has inexhaustible resource of crude oil.
