@IndianTechGuide We’re essentially burning 10,000 glasses of water just to get one shot of 'green' fuel—
it’s the world’s most expensive way to die of thirst in a clean-air vehicle. 🚗💨🚱

Instead of promoting Ethanol, the government should encourage vehicle companies to do R&D on electric vehicles. India receives sunlight for 9-10 months a year, electric vehicles having good range and fast charging facilities is going to be a better option than ethanol based vehicles.
India needs sustainable development and wasting 10,000 liters of water to get a liter of Ethanol neither sustainable nor mindful.

@IndianTechGuide That number includes crop water, not just factory use.Distilleries use much less and recycle a lot.Real problem is growing water heavy crops in water scarce areas.

@IndianTechGuide Ethanol is a byproduct of sugercane? How water is required in preparation? Can anybody explain?
English

@IndianTechGuide Ethanol is made from rice, corn, or sugarcane, and 10K stat only applies to rice, which is the worst case. For common crops like sugarcane/corn, it takes 2500–3500L throughout the crop's life.
Inside the factory, it takes only 3–15 L of water to produce 1 litre of ethanol.
English

@IndianTechGuide So so so much water is needed for just 1 litre of ethanol and someone have dream for 100% blending 🙄🙄
Paani khatre Minister Maje me.
@grok apka kya khyal h kya ethanol blending se pani ki kami ho sakti h?
English

@IndianTechGuide Interesting stat water use in ethanol production highlights the environmental trade-offs of biofuels.
English

@IndianTechGuide 10,000 litres of water for 1 litre ethanol…
hydration level: industry first, people later 😅
English

@IndianTechGuide @grok share the authentic source confirming the figure?
English

1 KG of the following needs,
Cotton → 10,000 to 20,000 liters
(Includes water for feed crops, drinking, and processing)
Lamb / Mutton → 10,000 to 12,000 liters
Coffee beans → 18,000 to 21,000 liters
(This is for 1 kg of roasted coffee beans)
Chocolate (cocoa) → 17,000 liters
(Cocoa cultivation is water intensive)
Leather (from cattle) → 15,000 to 17,000 liters
(Linked to livestock water footprint)
Almonds → 13,000 to 16,000 liters
(Very high irrigation demand, especially in dry regions)
Butter → 5,000 to 18,000 liters (varies widely, can exceed 10,000 on average
English

@IndianTechGuide But it doesnt, and all the handles posting just show how low IQ they have.
And they also forget India's literacy rate is much higher, we are not stupid enough to believe any absurd number posted by a news paper.
English


@IndianTechGuide Burning 10,000 liters of water to drive a few kilometers? This ethanol push is an environmental disaster disguised as 'green' energy.
We need sustainable solutions, not policies that will leave our future generations thirsty.
English

@IndianTechGuide If govt blends ethanol it's a problem. If the govt provides a subsidy it puts fiscal strain and as a result rupee slips, it is a problem. If the govt passes on the cost to consumer & reduces oil demand and saves forex then govt fears the next election.
English

@IndianTechGuide what kind of tech you bulshit? ethanol is a byproduct only main product is sugar sugarcane growing for its sugar. then from the waste ethanol extracting happening.
English

@IndianTechGuide me using toilet paper instead of water so that nitin gadkari's son could earn bucks
English

@IndianTechGuide This is true . Rice typically needs about 2,500 liters of water per kilogram of rough rice at the field level, though the actual amount can vary a lot by climate, soil, and farming method. That doesn't mean you stop eating/buying rice; look's like some lobby is at work with facts
English

@IndianTechGuide And after few years the water conservatives will come and do some dharna...
And then govt will start thinking for other substitute.
Abhi kyu nahi sochte ye log
English

@IndianTechGuide @grok Is this True?
If yes how resources will be used
English

@IndianTechGuide @grok is all the water wasted after the ethanol production
English

@IndianTechGuide It's not realistic as India uses sugarcane and Maize for Ethanol generation where 2500-3000 liters of water is used. The water footprint is realistically 2500-3000 L and not 10000 liter as it is extremely rare case. So, don't spread rumours on X
English

@IndianTechGuide True sustainability means measuring the full resource footprint - not just the carbon footprint.
English

@IndianTechGuide The statement is true for rice-based ethanol, not sugarcane based.
English

@IndianTechGuide India will die by water shortage but will drive cars with ethanol blending @grok
English

@IndianTechGuide how long before these facts come in whatsapp groups? waiting for our old uncles to get educated why next generation is upset about current govt
English

@IndianTechGuide The 10k L figure is mostly irrigation for the crop (sugarcane/rice), not the distillery. India's sugarcane ethanol footprint is ~2,500-3,000 L per litre. Still high, but using surplus grain beats oil imports. Nuance beats alarmism.
English

@IndianTechGuide Using water to grow plants is a reasonable usage of water even if it might be 1000000 litres of water.
English

False . Water is needed for growing crops. Each crop takes water according to requirement.
Maize takes very less water vis a vis Rice . sugercane takes water.
Ethanol is made from these products and not from water
Agriculture is going to happen even if you make ethanol or not
.
Been observing this account for posting lot of false information
English

@IndianTechGuide We will provide them water by Tankes no worry
#Pune have many tankers
English

@IndianTechGuide M not expert but no one can that inhuman to waste water, i just googled n seems like u must educate yourself first because your page name n viewership can lead it to failure and our country can loose investment for such products, must hire someone as final reviewer
Here is truth
