DETAILS
a Finland based biorefining technology corporation,
has entered into partnership with
Avantha Group’s research wing
Avantha Centre for Industrial Research & Development (ACIRD)
to offer technology to India
to extract ethanol from various agri residues
for blending with petrol.
India is a leading agricultural country
producing large amounts of bagasse, cane trash, rice and
wheat straw whose disposal is an environmental problem.
The partnership will help to deliver
biorefining technology to India
to convert various agri residues, such as
bagasse, cane trash, rice & wheat straw, corn stems,
grasses, bamboo
to clean sugars to be further converted to
cellulosic ethanol and other biobased chemicals.
Mr. Pasi Rousu,
President (Asia Pacific and Americas),
“India is today facing many challenges like
air pollution, tremendous import of petroleum,
underdeveloped countryside etc.
All these challenges can be turned into
highly scalable sustainable,
(economic, environment and social) businesses.”
Chempolis and ACIRD partnership
can help India to achieve its goals of
* reducing forex spending on importing of oil,
* production of more sustainable carbon neutral
biofuels and chemicals while
reaching ethanol blending targets and
* promoting sustainable and
environment-friendly business models.
