據安迅思7月21日消息稱，印度政府官員周三表示，印度巴拉特石油公司(BPCL)計劃斥資100億盧比(1.34億美元)在泰倫加納邦東南部建立一家乙醇工廠。

　　泰倫加納邦政府官員表示，擬議中的工廠將擁有50萬升/天的產能，將使用谷物作為原料。

　　由于州政府尚未分配公司所需的土地，BPCL 尚未最終確定乙醇廠的位置。

　　他說:“BPCL決定在泰倫加納建立這家工廠，因為該邦目前缺乏乙醇，需要一個大型乙醇工廠來滿足政府的燃料混合目標。”

　　一旦投入運營，BPCL工廠將幫助泰倫加納實現印度到2025年在汽車燃料中混合20%乙醇的目標。

　　據BPCL網站稱，該公司目前正在奧里薩邦、馬哈拉施特拉邦和中邦三個邦建設三個日產10萬升的第二代(2G)乙醇工廠。

　　該公司表示，2G工廠將使用稻稈和玉米秸稈作為生產乙醇的原料。

　　BPCL將為該項目提供技術，馬哈拉施特拉邦工廠的乙醇生產預計將在2023年左右開始。

　　India’s BPCL plans ethanol plant in Telangana state

　　India’s Bharat Petroleum Corp Ltd (BPCL) plans to set up an ethanol plant at a cost of Indian Rupees (Rs) 10bn ($134m) in south eastern Telangana state, a state government official said on Wednesday.

　　The proposed plant will have a capacity of 500,000 litres/day and will use grain as feedstock, the Telangana state government official said.

　　BPCL has not finalized the location of the ethanol plant as the state government is yet to allocate the land required for the company.

　　“BPCL has decided to set up this plant in Telangana as the state is currently ethanol deficient and would need a large ethanol plant to meet the government’s blending targets for fuel,” he said.

　　once operational, the BPCL plant would help Telangana achieve India’s target of blending 20% ethanol in auto fuel by 2025.

　　The company is currently in the process of setting up three second generation (2G) ethanol plants with a capacity of 100 kilolitres/day in the three states of Odisha, Maharashtra and Madhya Pradesh as per the BPCL website.

　　The 2G plants will use paddy straw and maize stalks as feedstock to produce ethanol, the company said.

　　BPCL will provide the technology for the project and ethanol production at the Maharashtra plant is expected to begin around 2023.?
