India’s First Integrated Bio-refinery for Renewable Fuels & Chemicals for producing ethanol from a variety of biomass is situated at Rahu in Pune district of Maharashtra.

• It is capable of producing one million litres of ethanol per annum by processing a variety of biomass like rice and wheat straw, cotton stalk, bagasse, cane trash, corn cobs & stover with superior product yields.
• Biofuel is cost-effective and pollution-free. Ethanol blending is the practice of blending petrol with ethanol.

Globally many countries including India, have resorted to ethanol blending to reduce vehicle exhaust emissions The inauguration of the refinery paves the way for stepping up 20% ethanol blending program and can reduce the import burden of crude petroleum.
