In India, the Business Standard reports that Uttar Pradesh government has approved six proposals for commercial scale biofuel investments worth a total of $230 million, including SunLight Fuels’ $210 million project to produce 175,000 liters per day of drop-in fuel from sugarcane bagasse. An unnamed Dutch company will provide the technology while the bagasse will likely be sourced from Burla group’s sugar mill located near to the project site in Sitapur. The other projects will use various kinds of agro waste to produce biofuels and biogas.
