The Profitable Business of Producing Ethanol from Waste Grains

Categories

Rice is the most abundant food crop in the world. About one third of all rice produced is broken, which means that it cannot be milled into white rice but is still edible. Why not turn this food waste into a sustainable and profitable source of fuel? You can take the discarded rice husks, mixed with mashed and boiled beans or any other agricultural biomass (grass, corn stalks etc.), to produce ethanol for use as fuel in cars. The process releases methane gas, which can be captured and used as cooking gas.

Manufacturing Process of Ethanol from Broken Rice, Maize & Wheat

Rice mills produce approximately two billion tonnes of broken rice husks and grains each year, whilst maize and wheat producers dispose of some 850 million tonnes during the harvest process. This equates to roughly 10% in weight or 4% in volume, making it an ideal source for fermentation into bioethanol. The first step is identifying what waste materials can be used to make this product. Once identified, these wastes are then transported to an ethanol plant where they are mixed with water and yeast before being heated and filtered through enzymes that turn the sugars into alcohol. To further increase the yield, other products such as corn, sugar cane and sugar beet molasses may also be added to the mix. After separating off any impurities, this mixture is allowed to ferment until it reaches a concentration of 20%. At this point, methanol and acetone are distilled off so that only ethanol remains â€“ at around 95%. If a higher concentration is required, another distillation takes place.

Advantages of Producing Ethanol from Broken Rice, Maize and Wheat Etc.

There are many advantages to producing ethanol rice, maize and wheat etc.

1) It is an environmentally friendly way to produce energy and move away from the use of fossil fuels.

2) Producing ethanol can reduce soil erosion, prevent loss of topsoil and reduce the need for expensive fertilizer production.

3) Ethanol produced in this manner will be more affordable than petroleum products such as gasoline because it will not have the higher costs associated with drilling, mining and transporting.

4) Ethanol produced from this process will also reduce dependence on foreign oil since it can be made anywhere there is a supply of waste grains.

5) The production of ethanol from broken rice, maize and wheat is an excellent method for removing broken kernels from harvested crops which can then be used to feed livestock or turned into food.

6) The liquid fuel created by the process has a greater density than alcohol so it requires less refining before being put into barrels and sold.

Indian Market Outlook

A recent study found that broken rice, maize and wheat can be converted into high-value products like bioethanol. In a country like India where wastage is a norm and edible grain is considered as ‘an unlucky charm’, the profitable business of converting waste grains into bioethochemicals will have its own advantages. It is more advantageous than other ways to dispose of waste grains because it maximizes the use of the land and its resources. The production process also reduces pollution levels by preventing burning of crop residues which causes air pollution. Furthermore, this renewable energy source avoids carbon emissions in the atmosphere during conversion to ethanol which increases production cost and environmental damage caused by fossil fuels. Converting these agricultural wastes into biofuels will benefit the farmers as well who are struggling with low income. It will not only create employment opportunities but also provide better wages for those employed in this industry.

The government has established a goal of blending 10% ethanol into gasoline by 2022 and 20% by 2025, which will save at the very least. The National Biofuels Policy, 2021, and the Ethanol Blended Petrol (EBP) programme are two recent initiatives that are thought to be the main forces for the rise in ethanol demand in India. The EBP programme intends to alleviate environmental issues, lower the cost of oil imports, and give farmers a rewarding income. The current percentage of ethanol in gasoline is about 8.5%. The managed price method for ethanol procurement has been reinstituted by the Indian government under the EBP programme. As a result, ethanol may now be produced using a variety of feedstockâ€™s, including heavy molasses, sugarcane juice, sugar, sugar syrup, damaged food grains, maize, and excess rice stocks with Food Corporation India.

The Indian government has authorised the use of maize and rice in the production of ethanol in order to enhance the production of ethanol that is suitable for use as fuel and to meet blending goals. In turn, this will not only make it easier to divert surplus sugar to the production of ethanol, but it will also assist farmers in diversifying their crop rotation to grow crops like maize/corn that need less water. This would increase the amount of ethanol produced from different feedstocks, helping to meet the goals for mixing ethanol and gasoline. As a result, there would be less reliance on crude oil.

Global Market Outlook

With the increasing popularity of electric vehicles and environmental concerns, ethanol production is skyrocketing around the world. Research indicates that the market for grain-based ethanol will grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 2.6% from 2017 to 2025. This recent increase in demand and increase in prices has caused companies all over the world to look into ways they can meet this need and make a profit while doing so. All over the world, farmers are discovering new ways to use waste grains and organic materials to produce bioethanol. In places like the United States, France, Brazil and China, small companies are getting in on the market for ethanol production using waste products to yield high quality fuel. For example, solar-powered microorganisms were used to convert corn cobs into ethanol by extracting sugars from the plant material. In countries like Germany and Japan, where rice consumption is large, some organizations have even begun experimenting with turning broken rice into ethanol. Other groups are producing ethanol from wheat straw, sugar cane, potato peelings and more! It’s becoming clear that biofuels can provide an economical way to create renewable energy while also improving food security at the same time. Scientists believe that this will make it possible for biofuels to be produced sustainably and affordably.
