1. ETHANOL AS A FUEL

2. WHAT IS ETHANOL?

3. The Fermentation of sugar crops (sugarcane, wheat, sorghum, maize, etc), starch, cornstalks, vegetable leftover and fruits after distillation is known as ETHANOL

4. USE

5. Best known as the type of ethanol found in ethanolic beverages

6. Used in thermometers as a solvent

7. Used as a raw material in various industrial processes

8. also be used as a FUEL

9. ETHANOL AS A FUEL

10.  Ethanol is used as an automotive fuel by itself and can be mixed with gasoline to form what has been called " GASOHOL " or FUEL ETHANOL .

11. How is ethanol being used as transportation fuel ?

12. Most ethanol used for fuel is being blended into gasoline at concentrations of 5 to 10 percent . All petrol engines can utilize the blended ethanol and needs no alterations.

13. There is a small but growing market for E85 fuel (85 percent ethanol and 15 percent gasoline) for use in Flexible Fuel Vehicles (FFVs), several million of which have been produced by U.S. automakers.

14. Ethanol is also being used to formulate a blend with diesel fuel, known as " E-Diesel ", and as a replacement for leaded aviation gasoline in small aircraft.

16. WHY ETHANOL ?

17. FUEL EFFICIENT When mixed with unleaded gasoline, ethanol increases octane levels improves combustion extends the supply of gasoline

18. . ECO-FRIENDLY A renewable source of energy Its production or the combustion does not emit green house gases or poisonous pollutants

19. Reduces the emission of Particulate Matter and sulfur dioxide Decreases the discharge of benzene and butadiene, that cause cancer, by 50% Decrease the emission of hydrocarbons that deplete the ozone layer.

21. HOW IS IT PRODUCED ?

22. By grains such as corn and sorghum Potatoes , sugar cane , and other farm plants and plant wastes. Forestry products such as wood , brewery waste , whey , paper waste , beets , or vegetable waste.

23. Ethanol is a product of fermentation In fermentation, ethanol retains much of the energy that was originally in the sugar, which explains why ethanol is an excellent fuel.

24. ETHANOL FROM CELLULOSE Cellulose— an organic compound that is the structural component of cell walls for plants. Cellulosic materials, such as wood chips and corn stalks, are an emerging feedstock for ethanol production. Cellulosic ethanol promises to reduce GHG emissions by up to 110% compared to gasoline.

38. Today’s producers get more ethanol out of every bushel—and use less energy and water to do it. That’s the definition of sustainability.

39. Since 2001:

40. Natural gas energy required to produce a gallon of ethanol has fallen 28%. Electricity use is down 32%. Source: Renewable Fuels Association

41. The amount of ethanol produced per bushel of corn has increased to 2.8 gallons, up more than 5%. Water use has fallen to 2.7 gallons per gallon of ethanol, down 47% since 2001 and comparable to water use for gasoline production. Source: Renewable Fuels Association

42. Ethanol’s energy balance is continually improving: 1 unit of energy invested in making ethanol yields up to 2.3 units of energy available for the consumer. Source: Renewable Fuels Association

43. Ethanol reduces greenhouse gas emissions by 40-50% when compared directly to gasoline.

44. Conclusion The ethanol industry continues to make a significant contribution to the economy in terms of job creation , generation of tax revenue, and displacement of imported crude oil . The importance of the ethanol industry to agriculture and rural economies is particularly notable. Continued growth and expansion of the ethanol industry through new technologies and feedstock will enhance the industry’s position as the original creator of green jobs , and will enable America to make further strides toward independence from imported fossil fuels.

45. BRAZIL Pure ethanol (100% ethanol ) is used in approximately 40 percent of the cars in Brazil. The remaining vehicles use blends of 24 percent ethanol with 76 percent gasoline. Brazil consumes nearly 4 billion gallons of ethanol annually. In addition to consumption, Brazil als o exports ethanol to other countries. SWEDEN Sweden has used ethanol in chemical production for many years. As a result, Sweden’s crude oil consumption has been cut in half since 1980. During the same time period, the use of gasoline and diesel for transportation has also increased

47. India is initiating the use of ethanol as an automotive fuel . A move has been made by distilleries in India to use surplus ethanol as a blending agent or an oxygenate in gasoline.

48. Currently, the mandate is for 5 percent blending but if we go to 10 percent , one could save about Rs 8,000-9,000 crore of foreign exchange which is currently being used to import crude. Source: www.moneycontrol.com

49. ACTUAL SCENE

50. Ethanol blending with petrol yet to gather steam Some seven years have passed since the government launched the program to  blend 5 per cent ethanol with petrol.  However, the desired blending has not yet been achieved because of problems over pricing and procurement.  

51. Blending at the rate of 5 per cent will require 1,050 million liters ethanol annually. But the OMCs (Indian Oil, Bharat Petroleum and Hindustan Petroleum) have procured only 400 million liters since January 2013. Source: Business Today

52. Blending in states like Uttar Pradesh, Haryana, Punjab, Delhi and Karnataka has been taking place at 10 per cent. But in several other states like Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, Maharashtra and Gujarat only 5 per cent has been achieved. At the national level, only 2 to 2.5 per cent blending is happening against a target of 5 per cent.  Source: Business Today

53. In the absence of a well knit policy in the past for purchasing and blending ethanol, not many distilleries have been producing ethanol . Only three distilleries attached to sugar mills had war years’ experience, and were able to gear themselves up to supply ethanol immediately.
