World Biofuel Day 10 August को annually मनाया जाता है — 10 August 1893 को Rudolf Diesel ने peanut oil से engine run करने का पहला experiment किया था। India का National Biofuel Policy 2018 ने E20 (20% ethanol blending in petrol) का target 2025 तक रखा था — यह achieve हो गया है। 2026 में E20 nationally rolled out हो रहा है। Benefits: crude oil import savings (₹30,000+ crore annually), carbon emissions reduction, sugarcane और grain farmers को better prices। Biofuel use: ethanol (sugarcane/grain), biodiesel (waste oil/jatropha), compressed biogas (CBG)।
