Sugarcane is an important industrial crop cultivated in tropical and subtropical regions of the world. The National Biofuel Policy (NBP-18) broadens the range of raw materials available for ethanol production by allowing the use of sugarcane juice in ethanol production 1. With an opportunity for diversion of surplus sugar towards ethanol production, the sugar industry has the potential to develop into a future energy hub with the use of innovative biofuel technologies. However, the sugar industry faces a lot of challenges like perishability of the feedstock, sugar sector glut, sub-optimal utilization of assets, ethanol demand-supply imbalance, etc. Sustainable technology solutions ensuring year-round operation of the distilleries will help release the constraint on ethanol supply and increase revenue for sugar mills. Praj Industries has developed a revolutionary technology to process sugarcane juice into a new sustainable feedstock BIOSYRUP? for round-the-year ethanol production. This solution enables sugar mills and distilleries to optimally sweat their assets by maximizing ethanol production.
