"The EPCA in a report in 2012 has stated that benefits of CNG transition are not visible due to growth in diesel vehicles, because diesel vehicles are known to emit higher smoke particles and Nitrogen Oxides than petrol cars," environment minister Jayanthi Natarajan said during Question Hour.

The renewed anxiety adds to pressure on the EU’s executive Commission to forge a deal this year to help ensure that EU biofuels do not clash with food production or the environment. Such an agreement would remove some of the uncertainty that has hung over the multi-billion euro bioenergy industry during years of debate. The UN’s Food and Agriculture Organisation last week called for a suspension of US ethanol quotas as a response to the impact of the worst US drought in more than half a century on corn supplies and prices.
Perspectives of industries and non-government bodies often differ on environment protection norms. While NGOs insist on putting in place the most stringent environment safety standards, industries often find it difficult to comply with such norms.
