Fuel Scarcity: 5 Agricultural Alternatives To Petrol by Aboseday: 2:07pm On Feb 23, 2022
Premium Motor Spirit also known as petrol or locally regarded as fuel in Nigeria is the country’s most consumed product from crude oil. According to data sourced from the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC), the daily consumption of fuel in Nigeria was at 72.07 million litres in May, 2021. Majority of Nigerians use petroleum-based vehicles and power generators.

There is a large dependence on petroleum in Nigeria, largely due to unstable power supply, Nigerians use power generating sets to power up their businesses and homes.

The nation is currently facing a looming threat of widespread petrol scarcity, due to imported petroleum products having excess methanol, the Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria (IPMAN) have also come out to state that the fuel scarcity crisis may last another two weeks. We believe that it may be a smart decision for the country to start considering agricultural alternatives to petrol. This will not only tackle the fast-growing fuel crisis but also reduce the country’s dependence on crude oil as the major source of revenue for the government.

AGRICULTURAL ALTERNATIVES TO PETROL
Agricultural alternatives to petrol are commonly referred to as Biofuels and they include (but are not limited to) the following:

Ethanol From Maize or Sugarcane
Palm Oil
Canola Oil
Soybean Oil
Cottonseed Oil

This topic never finish. Come back tell us how to use palm oil replace our petrol. How would a car move on palm oil that is more costly than petrol?
Should we be riding on this agricultural edible materials, then men will choose to eat better than to drive with them.

Canola oil and petrol, are they equal in prices?
