Which of the following can be used in the production of Ethanol?
Sugarcane juice
Sugar syrup
B-molasses
Select the correct answer using the codes given below:
Correct
Ans: D
Exp:
Recently, the government banned the use of ‘sugarcane juice and sugar syrup’ for ethanol production in the 2023-24 supply year in order to maintain adequate sugar availability for domestic consumption and to keep prices under check.
However, the government has allowed the use of ‘B-molasses’ for ethanol production in 2023-24.
The decision by the ministry comes in the backdrop of an estimated fall in sugar production in the 2023-24 marketing year (October-September).
Most of the fuel ethanol produced around the world is made by fermenting the sugar in the starches of grains such as corn, sorghum, and barley, and the sugar in sugar cane and sugar beets. Denaturants are added to ethanol to make fuel ethanol undrinkable.
