PROPOSED 60.0 KLPD MOLASSES BASED DISTILLERY ALONG WITH 2.2 MW CO-GENERATION POWER PLANT AT VILL: GANGADHARPUR, TEHSIL: CHANDAUSI, DISTRICT: SAMBHAL U.P. 2 PRE - FEASIBILITY REPORT 1. Executive Summary (I) Introduction Ethyl Alcohol commonly known as Ethanol with the molecular formula of C2H5OH, is an important organic compound which has wide use in industrial applications as fuel for internal combustion engine eosin das an intoxicate in ingredient of alcohol is beverages. In the Industrial applications it is used as solvents and in the synthesis of varied organic chemical slice acetaldehyde, acetic acid, benzene, PVC etc. Even though the major consumption as of now is for alcoholic beverages, Ethyl alcohol has the potential to fuel the future relegate in gasoline to a secondary place. Brazil has pioneered the blending of Ethyl Alcohol with gasoline to be used as automotive fuel, followed by United States of America and many other countries. Many countries, including India, have implemented policies to ensure that the bio-fuels become important element of their transport fuel mix .Bio-ethanol, unlike petroleum, is a form of renewable energy, that can be produced from agricultural feed stocks .Ethanol can be produced from several raw materials like Sugarcane or Sugar beet, molasses, Cassava Starch, Starch from Rice, Maize and other grains. Concerns about its production, from raw materials other than sugar cane molasses, relate to increased food prices, the large amount of arable land required for crops etc. However the latest developments with cellulosic than of production may all ay some of these concern relating to the food security. India’ stealing stalled ethyl alcohol production capacity is 4 billion liters perineum in about a total of 350 Distilleries. The installed production capacity for anhydrous alcohol is 2 billion liters per annum. Most of the alcohol produced in India is from cane molasses and grains contributing to only a small fraction of the production for potable alcohol. With the cane supplies diminishing in the last two or three years the production of alcohol had also come down. The average annual consumption had remained data round 3 Million liters with Industrial, potable, gasohol and other segments contributing 35%, 55%, 5% and 5% respectively. The notification to blend 5% alcohol with gas online was made out in 2002; the 5% blend in was made mandatory on lying 2007. Later the Government of India mandated 10% blending of alcohol with gas online from October 2009.The Government of India had planned to achieve 20% blending by 2017. However, due to the vagaries in the price of oil, reduction in the production of alcohol due to less cane cult ovation etc the policy of blending could not be implement in full. As against the consumption of about 1050 Million Liters perineum for 5% blending and about 2100 Million Liters for 10% blending the consumption had been only around 100Million Liters in the last year. However this scenario will change for the better as the whole world is now moving towards bio fuels.

In addition the potable alcohol consumption has been steadily increasing at the rate of 5 to 7% perineum. Presently many of the organic chemicals that are synthesized from petroleum feed stock due to the price advantage will eventually shift to ethanol feed stock as the crude price has increased.

There is a gap of 462 million litres between demand and supply of alcohol in India. Use of Ethanol for fuel blending has further reduced the supply of portable alcohol. The company plans on using 287 TDP of Molasses per day to manufacture portable alcohol Demand and Supply gap. Alcohol is an extremely important product in today’s economy. It is used to produce alcoholic beverages such as IMFL/Country Liquor which is a major source of revenue for the government by levying excise duty. It is also used in the production of a number of chemicals. Alcohol is also PRE FEASIBILITY REPORT VENUS SUGAR LIMITED PROPOSED 60.0 KLPD MOLASSES BASED DISTILLERY ALONG WITH 2.2 MW CO-GENERATION POWER PLANT AT VILL: GANGADHARPUR, TEHSIL: CHANDAUSI, DISTRICT: SAMBHAL U.P. 6 used in blending petrol and diesel and has potential as a fuel. Hence the present supply cannot meet the demand. In India, mainly three types of alcohol are popularly produced, i.e. rectified spirit (RS), extra neutral alcohol (ENA) and anhydrous alcohol (AA). Of these, RS is used for large number of industrial, scientific, laboratory, medical and many other applications. Thus, demand for the same is immense and it is ever increasing.
