Bio Fuels in the Armed Forces


Goteborg is among dozens of municipalities in Sweden with facilities that transform sewage waste into enough bio gas to run thousands of cars and buses.

The call by Pallam Raju to use bio- diesel and non- conventional energy in the Armed Forces is a welcome step. Certainly he is not aware that the Indian Army for the last few decades has been using bio fuel supplied by Army Supply Corps to the forward troops. This fuel mainly consists of Petrol or Diesel mixed with water. The percentage of water varies from 10% to 20%. Sadly the mobility of troops have been affected. The chamois filter is used to filter out the water but if it is not available the bio- fuel immobilises the vehicle.
