Ethanol Production Industry [From Broken Rice and Sugarcane]

Making ethanol using sugarcane is a process starting with the cane stalks crushing for sugar-rich cane juice. As they pass the crusher, cane juice is collected and allowed to ferment in a tank. The yeast reacts and generates ethanol.  On the other hand, ethanol production from broken rice is to degrade rice effectively into xylose and glucose.

The global ethanol market size is expected to be worth around USD 155.6 billion by 2030 from USD 93.7 billion in 2020, growing at a CAGR of 5.2% from 2021 to 2030. Increasing usage of ethyl alcohol as biofuel is major factor driving growth of the ethanol market.

Process of Manufacturing

The starch bioconversion is from the rice into ethanol as a two-step process. 

• The first step is when the starch is converted using an amylytic microorganism into sugar or using enzymes such as α-amylase and glucoamylase. This step is known as scarification.
• The second step is the fermentation that allows sugar to convert into ethanol. The use of amyl lytic yeasts is for starch direct fermentation as an alternate to the multistage traditional process offering poor economic feasibility. There are more than 150 amyl lytic yeast species and due to low ethanol tolerance, it is restricted for industrial use.

First grains are mashed and crushed and using water. It is then boiled for scarification so that the filter separates the sugar available. In the second step, the yeast is added for fermentation and is kept for 4 days.  You may separate the produced ethanol in the distillation tower by distillation. The distilled ethanol is dehydrated, while the commercial enzymes and cello biases are provided by Novozymes. They use the Bakers yeast of the commercial grade.

Ethanol is widely used in alcoholic beverages and the majority is used as fuel is produced by fermentation. Certain yeast species metabolize in reduced-oxygen conditions the sugar and they produce carbon dioxide and ethanol.

Fermentation is culturing the yeast process under thermal favorable conditions to manufacture alcohol. The ethanol toxicity to yeast restricts the concentration of ethanol available by brewing. Thus, obtainable ethanol is used for distillation or fortification.

Global Requirement

Adding methanol to ethanol is of immense use in chemical industries, and household chores domestic burners. The ethanol consumption is lethal, inducing sleep. These are the properties hindering market growth and pose challenges. The Indian ethanol market is categorized into molasses and sugar-based ethanol, while there are grain-based, mixed grains, and sugarcane ethanol. The market has been categorized into industry fuel, solvent, beverages; fuel additive, personal care, disinfectant, and fragrance & flavoring. The market is segmented into undenatured and denatured. The emphasis of the Government is on the production of ethanol from solid waste and biomass so that it is a key source to produce ethanol in the future.

Ethanol Market

Ethanol is extensively used as a fuel additive or fuel in the automotive industry. The demand is increasing in the global market for ethanol. The market for ethanol is witnessing fast growth in the past decade that the biofuel is receiving rapid funding. It is because biofuel is an eco-friendly substitute for gasoline.  Nevertheless, ethanol reduces carcinogen and other emissions by 70%. It appears that with rising prices of other raw materials, the need for growing the ethanol market is high.
