E100 Ethanol: अब E100 फ्यूल पर भी चलेंगी गाड़ियां, सरकार ने बदले नियम; पेट्रोल कारों के लिए क्या है इसका मतलब?

SUMMARY
केंद्र सरकार ने सड़क परिवहन नियमों में संशोधन कर E100 (100% एथेनॉल) ईंधन के इस्तेमाल को मंजूरी दे दी है। इसके तहत केवल खास तौर पर तैयार फ्लेक्स-फ्यूल (Flex-Fuel) गाड़ियों को ही इस ईंधन से चलाया जा सकेगा। मौजूदा साधारण पेट्रोल कारों में E100 का उपयोग नहीं किया जा सकता, क्योंकि इससे उनके इंजन को भारी नुकसान पहुंच सकता है। यह कदम प्रदूषण घटाने और कच्चे तेल के आयात को कम करने के लिए उठाया गया है।
