Abstract

This paper summarizes a groundwork investigation of production of Bio-Ethanol from Sugarcane and analysis of its feasibility in terms of social, economic and environmental aspects. The main objective of this case study is to analyze the option available for ethanol production from sugarcane. As the disposal of sugar mill biomass (bagasse) is a major issue concern for environment, we also suggest the ways to efficiently use bagasse to produce steam and electricity – a sustainable solution of clean energy. Production of Bio-Ethanol is result of several steps of Extraction, Fermentation, Distillation & Dehydration and we demonstrate a comparison of production of Bio-Ethanol from Bagasse and Molasses. In addition, preliminary analysis shows greater scope for more clean and green technology for the still grey areas.
