Different regions around the world employ various Biofuel compositions, including E85, E80, E10, E20 and more. For instance, E85 Flex Fuel consists of 15% Petrol by volume and 85% Ethanol obtained from biological sources.

The adoption of Biofuels as an Energy source offers several Environmental and Economic Advantages. It results in reduced Carbon Monoxide, Hydrocarbon and other harmful emissions typically associated with the combustion of traditional Fuels.

the use of an E20 blend of Biofuel can lead to a nearly 50% reduction in Carbon Monoxide Emissions for Two Wheelers and approximately a 30% reduction for Four Wheelers compared to pure Petrol or Diesel.
