“…Government of India has reported the successful trials on pilot projects for ethanol blending with fuel in India, and implemented the selling of petroleum fuel blended with 5% ethanol in nine states and four union territories from January 2003 [14]. Indian government has mandated the ethanol blending in gasoline by 10% for reducing the import of oil, and Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) has finalized the specification of ethanol-blended gasoline to 20% for vehicular fuel [15]. Several scientific studies have proved the significant decrease in emission of toxic substances and GHGs from ethanol-petrol blends and ethanol-diesel blends [16][17][18][19][20][21][22].…”

Emergence of "severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2)" causing "COVID-19" or "coronavirus disease 19" as pandemic has got worldwide attention towards hygiene as the first line of defense for the infection control. It is first line of defense not only from COVID-19 but also from other infectious diseases caused by deadly pathogens such as cholera, hepatitis, tuberculosis, polio, etc. Absence of any particular vaccine or treatment let World Health Organization (WHO) recommend to the public to maintain social distancing along with regularly washing their hands with soap, sanitize their hands (where washing is not possible), and disinfect their belongings and buildings to avoid the infection. Out of various formulations available in the market, WHO has recommended alcohol-based hand sanitizers, which mainly comprise of ethanol, isopropyl alcohols, and hydrogen peroxides in different combinations due to their high potential to kill the broad range of pathogens including bacterial, viral, fungal, helminthes, etc. Therefore, alcohol-based sanitizers are in high demand since centuries to prevent infection from pathogenic diseases. Ethanol is the most common and popular alcohol in terms of vanishing wide range of pathogens, convenient to use and its production. Ethanol is produced worldwide and is used in various sectors, e.g., beauty and cosmetics, food and beverages, and as the most demanding gasoline additive. The present review is focused on the ethanol production in India, its diversified applications emphasizing hand sanitizers with discussions on formulation of sanitizer and disinfectants, and viability of lignocellulosic and food grain-based ethanol. The review article also emphasizes on the technological details of 1G and 2G ethanol production, their associated challenges, and inputs for the improved ethanol yields so as to strengthen the supply chain of ethanol in India, and making "Atmanirbhar Bharat" (Self-reliant India) campaign of Indian government successfully viable.

“…In India, despite the great potential for ethanol production, a huge demand by its internal market make unfeasible, in the short term (2020), the blending of ethanol in the gasoline for concentration above E50 [25] . During the COVID-19 pandemic, India implemented repurposing of the existing industrial capacity of private liquor companies for the production of ethanol-based sanitizers.…”

“…Based on these data, vehicle fuel consumption without an ethanol mixture of 201.5 ml/km, then the most economical mixture with 15% ethanol (E15) addition of 150 ml/km or down by 25.55% from normal consumption. Other research conducted by (Sakthivel, Subramanian, & Mathai, 2018) produced the following data : Table 3. Research carried out (Sakthivel et al, 2018) Fuel consumption…”

<p>The technological development of the automotive sector is increasing, every year there is an increase in the production of motor vehicles in Indonesia. The increase in motorized vehicles will certainly have an impact on the use of fuel oil which is also increasing. Though fuel oil is a non-renewable fossil fuel, so that continuous use can lead to scarcity of fossil fuels someday. In addition to causing scarcity of fossil fuels, the increasing number of vehicles will also cause the surrounding environment to be increasingly polluted by the exhaust emissions from the combustion process of the motorized vehicles. Various alternatives are used as a mixture of fuels to reduce fuel consumption and vehicle exhaust emissions, such as ethanol, hydrogen, butanol, biodiesel, methanol etc. The purpose of this literacy study was to determine the effect of using ethanol on fuel consumption and its economic value. Based on the results of a study of literacy is known that the addition of ethanol does reduce the level of fuel consumption, However, if viewed from an economic perspective, the addition of ethanol has actually caused the purchase price of fuel to increase, this will certainly hinder the growth of the desire to use ethanol as an alternative source of fuel substitute by the people of Indonesia.</p>
