KOEL Launches Ethanol & Isobutanol Genset Engines
Kirloskar Oil Engines has created new engines that run on cleaner fuels like ethanol and isobutanol, instead of regular gas.
These engines were shown off on World Biofuel Day, with a government minister present.
The new engines cut down on pollution and help India use less oil from other countries.
Kirloskar hopes these engines will give businesses and communities a reliable way to get power that's also good for the environment.

The new engines aim to cut greenhouse gas emissions and reduce reliance on fossil fuels.
