“Today, the need of the hour is that all countries should work together in the field of fuel blending. Our proposal is to take an initiative at a global-level to take ethanol blending in petrol up to 20 per cent,” he said.
“Or alternatively, we could work on developing another blending mix for the greater global good, one that ensures a stable energy supply while also contributing to climate security,” Modi said at the session attended by US president Joe Biden, Saudi Arabia crown prince and prime minister Mohammed bin Salman, UK prime minister Rishi Sunak among others.
