Executive summary
Cars wi most i e y go a e ectric in t e next 5-7 yearsBattery technology (range, weight and cost) is the key technological challenge
In the interim, various hybrid technologies will be popularExperimentation with various degrees of hybridisation mild, full, plug-in
Other fuels, such as ethanol, bio-diesel and blends to grow but will be limited by suppliesIssues related to availability of crop area and impact on crop prices, and lifecyclecarbon emission still unresolved
In the medium term, Indian market will primarily be geared towards bio-fuel blendsmandated by government.CNG/LPG penetration to be limited by availability.
Not sure of which approach will succeed, players are hedging their bets by investing inmultiple technologies
Home grown Indian players are taking small steps to position themselves, through in-house R&D, small acquisitions and alliances

W hat are Alternative Automotive Fuels?
Conventional automotive fuels include : petrol/gasoline and diesel
Alternative fuels include : CNG, LPG, bio-diesel (vegetable oil, jatropha), bio-alcohol(ethanol), chemically stored electricity (batteries and fuel cells), hydrogen, etc.

Gaseous au tomotive fuels
Compressed Natural Gas(CNG)
Liquefied Petroleum Gas(LPG)
LPG is primarily produced as a by-product of petroleum refining, and is a mixture of propane(60%) and butane (40%).
It is made by compressing natural gas (87% ismethane), and is stored and distributed in hardcontainers at a normal pressure of 200220 bar.
Engine No modification to the engine required .
Storage Not much of an issue since the
storage tank takes a much smaller space. LPGtank weighs ~ 5-7 kgs when empty.
Engine: No modification required.
Storage is an issue, since it takes most of the
boot space in a car with big, heavy storagecylinders that weigh ~50 kg, when empty.Availabi li ty 619 stations primarily in Westernand Southern India. (refer appendix for details)
Availability: At 376 stations, primarily Delhiand Mumbai (refer appendix for details).

Economics & Availability of Ethanol Fuel
In India, ethanol (made from sugarcane molasses) is currently priced at Rs.21.5 per l itre bythe sugar companies for sale to oil companies for blending in petrol.
P resent Scenario:The Indian Government made 5% ethanol blend (E5) mandatory from November 1, 2007
across the country. However, currently the Oil Marketing Companies blend on an average only~ 3% - mainly due to unsolved issues like different sales tax across various states. sagreemen s on e as s o pr c ng.
The Indian Government plans to have 10% ethanol blended fuel (E10) mandatory from early2009.

Brazil a case study on Ethanol
Basic facts ~ 50% of the fuel used by gasoline powered passenger vehicles in Brazil is made up by ethanolin 2008.
Flexible-fuel vehicle fleet of ~ 6 million.
Ethanol fuel is supplied from all the fueling stations in Brazil. It has 33,000 fuelling stationsspread across the country.
How Brazil implemented its Ethanol Strategy?
Brazilian tryst with ethanol started from mid 1970s, after the major oil crisis in 1973.
,Alcohol Program titled Pro-Alcool , a nationwide program which had the following 3 incentives:
guaranteed purchases of ethanol by the state owned oil company, Petrobras.low-interest loans for agri-industrial ethanol firms.
,set gasoline price at the pump.With this, the Government made the ethanol production competitive without resorting to anysubsidy. The ethanol was to be produced from fermented sugarcane due to low cost of sugarat that time.
Subsequently, to execute the ethanol program in the national automobile industry, theGovernment made it mandatory in 1977 to have 20% blend of ethanol with gasoline (E20).

Stored at a high pressure of 350 bar. Since it has very low density, needslarge on-board storage.

Major investments in hydrogen-fuel cells
Hydrogen F uel-cell vehiclesExpected to be in mass production by ~2017 (the horizon has been slippingfor years)
Some of the major investments in the Hydrogen Fuel-cell technology:USA US $ 1 bn on Hydrogen Research, since the launch of Hydrogen Fuel Initiativein 2003.Europe US $ 730 mn ( 470 mn), for fuel-cell and hydrogen initiative. Expectsprivate sector to match this figure.Germany US $ 777 mn ( 500 mn) through establishment of National Organizationof Hydrogen and Fuel-cell Technology in Germany.

US $ 10 bn of public funding for 2 mn hydrogen fuel-cell cars on US roads by 2025rising to US $ 45 bn for 10 mn cars.
,US $ 55 bn of Government investment to put 2 mn hydrogen cars on roads by 2023.
