Generic name of Ethanol is  Ethyl Alcohol which is produced from sugarcane molasses and juice, prepared by fermentation and distillation processes. Ethanol is  flammable and colourless liquid, widely used as a solvent of substances intended for human contact or consumption, including fragrances, flavoring, colouring and medicines. It has also been used when blended, as an additive with fuel for motor vehicles, it is known as Motor Fuel Grade Alcohol or Power Alcohol. It can be blended with petrol in varying quantities up to any extent depending upon the technology of the engine. Up to 15% blend no modifications are required in the engines.

We are having Ethanol Plant of 45 KLPD commenced commercial operation from 2007 and has been supplying Ethanol to Oil companies at different locations in Bihar and Jharkhand for admixing with Petrol.  

One of the most remunerative applications of molasses is in the manufacture of ethanol, an environment friendly fuel. Being an oxygenate it contains high percentage of oxygen which helps combust fuel more completely and reduces vehicular injurious emission. The Government has made blending of fuel petrol with 5% ethanol mandatory with effect from 1st October, 2003 in nine states and four union territories.
