KLPD Grain-Based
Ethanol Distillery

This proposed project is for manufacturing fuel ethanol by using agricultural products such as broken rice, maize, sorghum grain, and other starch based cereals.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF NATURE OF PRODUCT

The major product, ethanol is a bio-fuel synthesized from agricultural feed stocks like corn, broken rice, etc. And used in blending with petroleum for transportation. Blending ethanol with petroleum reduces the amount of crude oil imports from other countries.
Bio-fuels are also cleaner burning fuels as their combustion results in no particulate matter generation. Bio-energy industry across the world has the potential to make significant contributions to meet the world’s energy needs. In India, bio-energy can contribute towards achieving the country’s energy security and help reduce the dependence on fossil fuels.

This proposed project is for manufacturing fuel ethanol by using agricultural products such as broken rice, maize, sorghum grain, and other starch based cereals.

This project is to produce ethanol by using broken rice, maize (corn), millets, damaged food grains (not fit for human consumption) etc. As raw material. As such, there is tremendous scope for the product of the company at a better price.

Ministry of consumer affairs & public distribution, department of food & public distribution vide their notification dated 14.01.2021, informed that in the current ethanol supply year 2020-2021, about 325 cr litres ethanol is likely to be supplied to omcs to achieve 8.5% blending. The ministry reported that it is likely that 10% blending target will be achieved by 2022 with supply of 400 cr litres ethanol.
