Vegetable Fuel Oils Take Root In India
Vegetable Fuel Oils Take Root In India
India appears to have already heard of Biofuels - and is already starting to make use of them - to create sustainable local power plants - "right in the middle of a forest, with no pylons, no pollution, no down-time and no bills to pay, the village came to light. People whooped in joy. This self sustaining miracle cost just Rs.500,000 [$10,000]."
Pretty amazing to think that rural Indians are already years ahead of most 'modern, developed nations', who would never think to go so eco friendly just yet... Haven't you heard - there's still at least another 50 years of fuel for us left!! (Never mind about the rest of the world - we're the rich one's who'll be able to keep going..)
Well it seems cars might be turning over a different engine fuel too...
"In what may turn out to be a turning point.... a World War 2 vintage jeep in the Adilabad forest area is about to be modified to run on Karanji oil. With start-stop vehicle engines, it is better to have two tanks with a switch: diesel to start on, SVO to run on and diesel again before stopping. The jeep as a 4 wheel drive is the work-horse of the Indian countryside. .... but diesel costs are a killer. If SVO make a difference here, the impact on rural transportation..... and job generation will be immense."
Pretty amazing to me, that rural India is taking such steps - but a real blessing at the same time, as far as I'm concerned... It's all of these small steps, in many places that mean the world will change for the better...
