SED lands $15.9M government funding for 2G ethanol plant at UP sugar mill

June 18, 2026 |

In India, Spray Engineering Devices Limited (SED) has received approval for ₹150 crore financial assistance under the Ministry of Petroleum & Natural Gas (MoPNG)’s PM JI-VAN Yojana through the Centre for High Technology (CHT) for setting up a 91,000 liter per day second generation (2G) Ethanol Biorefinery at Wave Sugar, Dhanaura, Uttar Pradesh.

The project is among India’s first privately developed commercial-scale 2G ethanol biorefineries integrating biomass gasification with advanced gas fermentation technology, creating a new pathway for converting agricultural residues into low-carbon fuels and future green chemical applications.

By integrating LanzaTech’s globally recognized gas fermentation platform with Ankur Scientific Energy Technologies’ indigenous oxygen-enriched biomass gasification technology in a thermally integrated configuration, the biorefinery will convert biomass-derived syngas into sustainable ethanol while creating a pathway for the future production of green chemicals, sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) intermediates, and other renewable molecules.
