India approves $17.4 million aid for SED ethanol project
In India, AlchemPro reported that Spray Engineering Devices Limited (SED) has received approval for $17.4 million in financial assistance for setting up a 91 KLPD 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, according to the report.
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.
Vivek Verma, Managing Director at SED, said, “The future of the sugarcane industry lies beyond sugar and conventional ethanol. It lies in creating integrated bio-industrial ecosystems where agricultural residues become a valuable resource for clean fuels, green chemicals, and sustainable economic growth.”
