Contemplating to introduce bio-fuel as an alternative to conventional fossil-fuel, the Karnataka State Government has embarked upon a pilot project to see if bio-fuel actually makes the difference and reduce vehicular pollution in the city. The Bangalore Metropolitan Transport Corporation (BMTC) will run five buses on bio-fuel over the next three months. Once successfully established that this fuel reduces pollution, the government is thinking of switching over more public vehicles to bio-fuel. The Environment Management and Protection Research Institute (EMPRI) will be working on the feasibility of this fuel and its availability in the State.
