With the government planning to start 20 per cent blending of bio-diesel with diesel, Indian oil companies are fast firming up their bio-diesel ventures.
Oil companies firm up bio-diesel plans
Ya most of the oil companies are starting there bio-diesel projects, in that reliance, bharth petroleum and many other oil companies are coming in to existence. If this bio - diesels came into the existence pollution will get reduced .
I'm curios to understand India's options in providing China with biodiesel. The two countries are very close geographically, India has planted millions of acres of Jatropha, China is an emerging country with a very large appetite for fuels (the cleaner the better).
Just kind of makes me wonder about how their relations are, whether India can provide enough bioD, and whether it can be provided at a reasonable cost for China, and a reasonable profit for India as well.
Perhaps the "Big 5" had (if they're not already) better keep a closer eye on developments in BioD.
