In India, the Hindu newspaper reports that Mangalore Refineries and Petrochemicals Ltd. will invest $148.7 million in a 600,000 liter per day second-generation ethanol facility in Karnataka. A local MP announced that the proposed facility will be sited on 50 acres of industrial land near Harihar in Davangere and will eventually create 80 full-time jobs. Agricultural waste from nearby farms will be used as feedstock but specific types of waste were not reported by The Hindu.
