New strategic partnership: Spray Engineering Devices Ltd (SED) has teamed up with LanzaTech to develop India’s first ethanol plant that converts sugarcane bagasse (agricultural waste) into sustainable fuel and chemicals.
Cutting-edge technology: The facility will use LanzaTech’s carbon recycling and syngas fermentation technology to produce ethanol from bagasse, supporting cleaner fuel production.
Location & capacity: The ethanol plant will be built in Uttar Pradesh, India, and is designed to process up to 300 tons of bagasse per day.
Smart Village initiative: The project is part of the “SED Smart Village” model aimed at integrating renewable energy and carbon resource utilization to boost rural technological and economic development.
Circular economy benefits: The plant will divert agricultural waste from burning and generate valuable co-products such as nutrient-rich biochar for local farming, improving soil quality.
Government alignment: The project aligns with India’s PM JI-VAN Yojana program, which promotes the production of advanced bioethanol from agricultural and industrial waste.
Economic impact: The initiative is expected to enhance rural energy infrastructure, create jobs, and strengthen local economies through sustainable fuel and chemical production.
Timeline: Construction is expected to be completed and operations started within approximately two years from the announcement.
