Agree… grain based ethanol plants are unviable at the current grain prices. Increasing the price of maize based ethanol has caused price increase of maize and all foodgrains !!
Sugarcane is the best source of renewable energy:
- Cane based ethanol is cheaper than grain based ethanol
- Bagasse is used to generate renewable energy which replaces coal based power
- spent wash is used to generate biogas
And still the Govt is promoting grain based ethanol over sugarcane based ethanol. no sugar company will put up new ethanol plant for at least 3 years…
