0,10,17,10,2,10,5

keywords: 

{'green fuel': [0, 0, 1, 0], 'ethanol': [0, 1, 1, 0], 'biofuel': [0, 0, 1, 0], 'transport fuel': [0, 0, 1, 0], 'ethyl alcohol': [0, 1, 0, 0], 'renewable energy generation': [0, 0, 1, 1], 'seaweed': [0, 0, 1, 0], 'cars': [0, 0, 5, 5], 'major eco': [0, 0, 1, 0], 'car': [0, 2, 12, 17], 'marine chemicals research institute': [0, 0, 1, 0]}

Option 1 states that the experiment in this direction was carried out by the scientists of Central Salt and Marine Chemicals Research Institute (CSMCRI), Bhavnagar. This means that the scientists from CSMCRI in Bhavnagar conducted the experiment related to running a car using seaweed sourced ethanol for the first time in India.

Option 2 states that India has become the first country in the world to produce and use green fuel to run cars. However, this statement is not mentioned in the given information, so it is incorrect.

Therefore, the correct statement is option 1 only, which means that the experiment was conducted by the scientists of CSMCRI, Bhavnagar.
