In India, the Economic Times newspaper reports that Indian Oil Company has applied for environmental permissions to build a planned $100 million second generation ethanol facility co-located at its Panipat refinery using straw and other non-food biomass as feedstock. Praj will design the 100,000 liter per day facility that will use 473 metric tons of straw daily. Currently 12 2G biorefineries are under development across the country in response to the government’s push for more ethanol production.
