Today the world is completely dependent on energy. Be it
vehicles, factories or power plants,
petrol and
diesel are consumed the most everywhere. But a big question in people's mind is that which of these two fuel reserves will be exhausted first? Actually, both
petrol and
diesel are made from crude oil. But the faster they are being extracted and used, the faster the risk of their exhaustion is also increasing.
Consumption of
diesel is more than petrol
Reports show that if petroleum reserves continue to be used at this pace, then this crisis will deepen in the next 40 to 50 years. The consumption of
diesel in the world is much more than
petrol, because it is used not only in
vehicles but also in trucks, ships and industries. This is the reason why the reserves of
diesel are decreasing faster than petrol.
There may be a fuel crisis in the future
According to scientists, there is a high possibility of
diesel running out first in the world.
petrol can last for a little longer, but it is also not reserved for forever. Experts say that there may be a crisis of both fuels in the coming 3-4 decades. This is the reason why work is being done rapidly on alternatives like electric
vehicles, biofuel and solar energy all over the world.
petrol and
diesel are an even bigger issue for countries like India, because
petrol and
diesel are imported in large quantities here.
If there is a fuel crisis in the future, its effect can be seen from the common man to the entire economy. The meaning of saying is that both
petrol and
diesel are limited. The only difference is that due to higher consumption of
diesel, it may run out first. In such a situation, there is a need to increase the use of alternative energy from now itself, otherwise in the coming times,
vehicles will remain idle and
industries will come to a standstill.
