2g ethanol plant

“ICIS price forecasts have helped us allocate resources smartly and efficiently, to anticipate price changes, and to buy PP at favourable prices. The reports have saved our internal team a lot of time and effort when analysing pricing trends.” Sante Serrecchia, Administrative & Purchasing Manager, Ondaplast MUMBAI (ICIS)–India’s Bharat Petroleum Corp Ltd (BPCL) plans to set up an ethanol plant at a cost of Indian Rupees (Rs) 10bn ($134m) in south eastern Telangana state, a state government official said on Wednesday. The proposed plant will have a capacity of 500,000 litres/day and will use grain as feedstock, the Telangana state government official said. BPCL has not finalized the location of the ethanol plant as the state government is yet to allocate the land required for the company. “BPCL has decided to set up this plant in Telangana as the state is currently ethanol deficient and would need a large ethanol plant to meet the government’s blending targets for fuel,” he said. Once operational, the BPCL plant would help Telangana achieve India’s target of blending 20% ethanol in auto fuel by 2025. The company is currently in the process of setting up three second generation (2G) BPCL will provide the technology for the project and ethanol production at the Maharashtra plant is expected to begin around 2023.

As India moves towards its ambitious net zero goal, Indian oil marketing companies and refineries are diversifying their operations towards sustainable products. Union minister for education, Dharmendra Pradhan on Sunday said that BPCL’s 2G bio-refinery in Bargarh, Odisha, would provide momentum to India’s green and sustainable growth. Taking to Twitter, Pradhan said: “Bargarh 2G Bio-refinery will give momentum to green growth and sustainable development. As a part of the #VikasTeerth Yatra to mark #9YearsOfSeva, visited the #biorefinery to get an overview of the works in progress and the milestones completed. Bargarh Bio-refinery is making steady progress and is expected to be commissioned soon. @BPCLimited" In another tweet, Pradhan, who also holds the portfolio of skill development and entrepreneurship said that the bio-refinery will invigorate a circular economy, give impetus to the “waste-to-wealth" initiative, boost farmers‘ income, create large scale employment, augment indigenous production of green fuel along with leading Odisha towards prosperity and self-reliance. “Keeping in mind GoI’s focus on #greengrowth and upcoming bio-refineries in Odisha and neighbouring Chattisgarh and West Bengal, suggested to design relevant courses & modules in ethanol engineering, economics & technology in regional Govt According to the company, the ethanol produced from the plant shall be utilized for blending with petrol under Ethanol Blended Petrol (EBP) programme for significant...

After producing ethanol from sugarcane, India is now pushing for producing low-carbon fuel from grains and agri waste. This is part of an ambitious programme to mix ethanol in petrol to cut down emissions as well as the country's dependence on imports for meeting oil needs. Presently, 10 per cent ethanol is mixed in petrol (10 per cent ethanol, 90 per cent petrol) and this volume is targeted to be doubled by 2025. The Bargarh 2G bio-refinery is part of the plan to augment the production of ethanol to meet the higher mixing target. The Bargarh bio-refinery in Odisha is being built at a cost of Rs 1,607 crore and will produce 100 kilolitres per day of 1G ethanol (ethanol from rice grain) and a similar volume of 2G ethanol (ethanol from rice straw). "The Bargarh 2G Bio-refinery will invigorate a circular economy, give impetus to waste-to-wealth creation, boost farmers' income & welfare, create large-scale employment, augment indigenous production of green fuel and lead Odisha towards prosperity and self-reliance as envisioned by PM @narendramodi ji," Pradhan tweeted. The plant is the first of its kind in the world with rice-based 1G and 2G bio-ethanol production. Ethanol produced from the plant shall be utilized for blending with petrol under Ethanol Blended Petrol (EBP) Programme for a significant reduction in GHG emissions and savings in crude import bill for India. "Keeping in mind GoI's focus on #greengrowth and upcoming bio-refineries in Odisha and neighbouring Chhattisg...

Capacity Valor Econômico reports that “the three new plants that Raízen has announced so far have a production capacity of 82 million liters of ethanol a year each, while the one in Piracicaba is smaller. But second-generation ethanol is more environmentally friendly and is often sold at a higher price than conventional ethanol for industries trying to lower their carbon footprint like aviation and shipping. Recently, Ricardo Mussa , the company’s president, said that the company was already selling cellulosic ethanol at 70% premiums compared to conventional biofuel, according to Valor Econômico. The emissions savings According to Valor Econômico, “the hydrous ethanol produced at Raízen’s bioenergy park in Piracicaba, considering jointly the first and second generation production, reduces emissions compared to gasoline by 60.7 grams of carbon dioxide equivalent per megajoule of energy, according to data from company at the National Agency of Petroleum, Natural Gas and Biofuels (ANP) regarding certification in RenovaBio. The reduction in emissions promoted by all the ethanol produced at the unit exceeds the average of companies in the sector certified in the program (59.7 grams of carbon dioxide equivalent per MJ).” That’s a lot of emissions savings which makes it even more attractive to those industries trying to lower their carbon footprint, though we don’t know exactly who is buying Raízen’s biofuel since they don’t share that information publicly. Though you can see in ...

Biofuels manufactured from non-food biomass Second-generation biofuels, also known as advanced biofuels, are fuels that can be manufactured from various types of non-food First-generation Second-generation biofuels are made from different feedstocks and therefore may require different technology to extract useful energy from them. Second generation feedstocks include The term second-generation biofuels is used loosely to describe both the 'advanced' technology used to process feedstocks into biofuel, but also the use of non-food crops, biomass and wastes as feedstocks in 'standard' biofuels processing technologies if suitable. This causes some considerable confusion. Therefore it is important to distinguish between second-generation feedstocks and second-generation biofuel processing technologies. The development of second-generation biofuels has seen a stimulus since the Introduction [ ] Second-generation biofuel technologies have been developed to enable the use of non-food biofuel feedstocks because of concerns to food security caused by the use of food crops for the production of First-generation The goal of second-generation biofuel processes is to extend the amount of biofuel that can be produced The problem that second-generation biofuel processes are addressing is to extract useful feedstocks from this woody or fibrous biomass, which is predominantly composed of Second-generation technology [ ] The following subsections describe the main second-generation routes cu...
