Proposed Capacity
First-generation (1G) Bio-Ethanol is produced from biomass such as sugar containing materials like sugar cane juice, molasses, sugar beet etc and starch containing materials such as corn, cassava, rotten vegetables such as potatoes, damaged food grain etc.
Uses
Transportation Fuel: One of the primary uses of 1G Bio-Ethanol is as an alternative to gasoline in the transportation sector. (DOP or DEHP)
Fuel Additive: Bio-ethanol is often used as an additive in gasoline to improve its octane rating and reduce air pollution. Common ethanol-gasoline blends include E10 (10% ethanol, 90% gasoline) and E85 (85% ethanol, 15% gasoline).
Industrial Solvent: Bio-ethanol can serve as a solvent in various industrial applications, including the production of pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and cleaning products. Alcoholic Beverages: Ethanol is used in the production of alcoholic beverages, such as beer, wine, and spirits.
Energy Generation: Bio-ethanol can also be used in the generation of electricity and heat as a biofuel in power plants and combined heat and power (CHP) systems.
Medical and Pharmaceutical Products: Ethanol is used in the medical and pharmaceutical industries as a disinfectant and a component in some medications.
Cosmetics and Personal Care Products: Ethanol is utilized in the formulation of many cosmetic and personal care products, such as perfumes, lotions, and hair care products.
