EID Parry looks to convert spirit and alcohol production to ethanol

In India, the Press Trust of India reports that EID Parry has permission in principle to convert 600,000 liters per day of impure spirit produced at one of its facilities in Tamil Nadu into ethanol and another 300,000 liters per day of impure alcohol into ethanol at another facility. The company began producing ethanol from B-heavy molasses during this season for the first time. Securing sufficient cane supplies has been a challenge for the company so it is investing heavily in technology to improve cane production.
