-Praj has 25 years in the alcohol process technology business and has worked with its international customers to create the largest knowledge base in the world on alcohol/ethanol feedstocks–by species, variety, growing conditions, mash charactereistics and wastewater challenges.

-The company’s large base of existing clients provides it with ready customers for its new co-located distillery waste to ethanol technology, a breakthrough in resource and cost efficient ethanol production.

-Praj integrates the IPR of its 16 lab Matrix complex with its existing business, minimizing the costs of the R&D to pilot to commercialization process.

-Praj recently introduced farm-to-fuel services for both ethanol and biodiesel production. It stands to benefit from the failure of other companies to achieve success with Jatropha biodiesel, and from its own research on algae and other new crops.

-USDA is currently promoting Praj’s highly efficient ethanol technology for Colombia as a global model of sustainable ethanol production.

-Within India, Praj Chairman Pramod Chaudhary chairs the Biofuels Committee of the Confederation of Indian Industry. He has markedly increased government and corporate interest in biofuels, along with cooperation among the companies working in the industry.

Praj developed dryland crop sweet sorghum to ethanol technology, which will increasingly replace sugar cane as the result of poor monsoons and climate change. Praj client Tata Chemicals has already achieved success with its pilot plant and announced that it will roll out sweet sorghum ethanol plants on a large scale.

In short, the company looks set both to continue its domination of the Indian ethanol industry as production increases to meet the mandates, and to significantly increase its business overseas.
