- “Praj recibe confirmación para iniciar los trabajos relacionados con la instalación de una planta de etanol celulósico para BPCL”, 26/2/2018.

Figura 1. El proyecto de BPCL reducirá la quema de residuos de origen agrícola

El proyecto se dio a conocer justo antes de finales de 2016 durante el evento PETROTECH 2016. BPCL firmó un acuerdo con Praj (licenciante de tecnología) para la instalación de la planta. En febrero de 2018, la compañía petrolera dio la confirmación formal para que Praj iniciara la ingeniería básica y el paquete de diseño. 

La capacidad de producción propuesta para esta planta es de 100 kL por día de etanol de grado combustible que cumple con las especificaciones marcadas por la norma IS 15464: 2004. La paja de arroz será la materia prima de diseño, mientras que el tallo de maíz será el caso de verificación. El proyecto ayudará a abordar las crecientes preocupaciones medioambientales y respaldará el programa de mezcla de gasolina con etanol (Ethanol Blended Petrol, EBP). El Gobierno de la India está alentando la producción de etanol celulósico a partir de residuos agrícolas para proporcionar fuentes adicionales de remuneración a los agricultores. Además de reducir la contaminación ambiental debido a la quema de residuos agrícolas, el proyecto mejorará la seguridad energética de la nación.
