Ethanol

Ethanol, also known as ethyl alcohol, is a renewable biofuel produced by fermenting the sugars found in biomass such as corn, sugarcane, or cellulosic feedstocks. Bio Agro Energy Private Limited harnesses the rich agricultural heritage of Odisha by using broken/damaged rice as the primary feedstock for ethanol production. This approach aligns perfectly with the State’s rice cultivation industry, ensuring a stable and locally sourced raw material supply, thereby increasing the income of rice growers substantially

It is a key component of the government's ethanol blending program, aiming to reduce carbon emissions and promote energy independence. Ethanol is primarily used as a fuel additive to gasoline, enhancing octane levels and reducing harmful emissions. It also finds applications in various industries, including pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and beverages.
