Meanwhile, owing to rising fuel prices, Union Minister Nitin Gadkari stressed that it has become extremely essential to explore the use of alternate sources of fuel, especially methanol. He also stressed on the need to boost waterways for facilitating trade and commerce as it is the cheapest mode of communication.
“With the increase in prices of petrol and diesel it has become important to explore the more easily available and cheaper fuel,” Gadkari said during virtual address on the concluding day of the two-day Waterways Conclave-2022 and claimed that methanol is much cheaper than diesel and technology is available to convert diesel engines into ones which can be driven by it.
“Promoting the use of alternative fuel is important and methanol can be used more … New technology in fuel is important,” he said and further pointed out that Assam, which currently produces 100 tonnes of methanol per day and will be increasing it to 500 tonnes per day, is well poised to benefit from the change.
“We can develop marine engines run on methanol and convert the diesel ones … A Swedish company has the technology to convert diesel engines to methanol engines … “It (use of methanol) will reduce fuel cost by 50%. I request Sonowalji (Union Minister for Ports, Shipping and Waterways) to concentrate on this.” Srabananda Sonowal was present at the venue.
