Praj Industries has commissioned a 1 million ltrs/yr integrated bio-refinery demonstration plant in dist. Pune, Maharashtra on 7th May, 2017. The plant will produce an ethanol by processing a variety of agri-residue like rice and wheat straw, cotton stalk, bagasse, cane trash, corn cobs & stover, etc with superior product yields. With continual research and development, further pipeline of other renewable fuels and chemicals is underway to be produced from this technology platform. As a part of this drive, 10 to 12 second generation ethanol projects are expected to be finalized, with average capex of around Rs 600 crore each. Each of these plants will have the capacity to produce 100,000 litres of ethanol per day. The company is at the forefront of this development and has already signed MoUs with IOCL and BPCL as their technology partner for certain project sites. [Info as of: Sept. `17]
