- The Indian Oil Corporation’s 2G ethanol plant at Panipat, Haryana, which will be commissioned next month, will process 2.1 lakh metric tonne of dry rice straw annually and convert it to 3 crore litre of ethanol, a biofuel. Farmers in Haryana and Punjab have been burning rice straw left after harvesting, causing severe pollution.

AAP just barks and provides more free items to increase footprint and get more power in all states.
The central government has done a good job here by establishing industry based on waste material and reducing pollution
But liberandus don't understand
Wo sab toh theek hai, lekin 2G Ethanol mein AAP ko gaali dene ki kya baat thi.
Good initiative...More of these ethanol plants should be built across the states....
visit krna hai toh aa jana aap mere ghar k pass hai ye plant
@@RaviKumar-et4jo Can you tell, what impact has it on the stubble burning and farmers?
Would like to hear your views
@@happyeastwood it increases farmers income and reduces pollution
@@RaviKumar-et4jo kya ye Plant wale apki parali ke paise bhi apko dete hai??
Or kya kya Fayde hue iske?
@@RaviKumar-et4jo ismail population hotavh ya nahi
The 2nd Gentleman was very articulate and provided some important insights. Glad to see industrious and sophisticated people in public sector undertakings.
true. to the point.
This regime has provided us with new hope and optimism for the better future with less pollution. Great initiative 👏
mere ghar k pass hai ye plant only 300meter door hai
@@RaviKumar-et4jo kya kisaano ko bhi kuch Paisa milta h ???
This video should be circulated on WhatsApp Numbers in Punjab rural areas instead of extremist Amritpal's communal propaganda
I am very happy to see india producing ethanol from waste stub & other polluting waste . Cheers IOC !!! . First in Asia 🙌👌🏻👋
"waste to wealth isn't just a slogan anymore"
Central govt actually doing work in ground level unlike always barking,show off govt of delhi and punjab
Haryana has reduced stubble burning cases significantly from previous year.
Kudos to you Moushumi Das Gupta. I personally really enjoy a lot these coverages of yours. Very informative and positive. Please try to cover the Bullet train project and the Dedicated Freight Corridor. Well done the Print. 👍
Excellent effort by ioc and praj industry. My heartiest congratulations.
Actually, this was inaugurated by PM Modi before Bihar elections last year.
Sounds good in theory. However, in practice 7 tons of rice straw are required for one ton of ethanol and in reality it is much lower due to massive carry over of metals, extractives, silica... into the fermentation.
Great and good this plant reduce some percentage of the air pollution caused by stubble burning
Whose intiative is this Haryana govt or Central govt? Appreciate it.
Well I think it's BJP's initiative 😀😀😀
Great initiative!
Should be done on war footing elsewhere in the country also! No use patting ourselves on the back with just one (1) project. Several ethanol plants are to be set up in South India & West Bengal which are rice producing areas of the country.
Let us see what AAP does in Punjab.
No, in south india we never burn stubs, we use them as cattle fodder, it accounts for 1/3 of the income of paddy harvesting.
@@jagadeeshks4601 Burning sugarcane stubble is widespread though. That is also usable in producing ethanol, along with crude remnant molasses and bagasse.
There are multiple ways to stop the burning but can be used for ethonol making , making them as compost, some cutlery and feed for animals etc. We need initiatives in these areas. Infact any kind of agriculture waste can be used to generate ethanol, baggase, corn wastes, rice husks, wheat wastes etc.... W
Excellent report, thanks Moushumi.
Great idea by GoI
The greatest Q: What % of stubs in Haryana will be used for this?
I think it will increase overtime, but don't you think use of Trains for moving the stubble is good ?
This year stuble burning was just 3 percent if compare with last year ,which was around 80 percent . Aap did not able to anything, they do just advertisement .
@@dipmalyagantait4716 great suggestion but still loading and unloafing then storing will be a great challenge
@@dipmalyagantait4716 Last mile rail connectivity to farms neither exists nor is it feasible. Also, rails are mainly electrified - and this last mile small truck + large truck at collection depots via road additionally offers the opportunity to use blended fuel itself for the final small load conveyance. Eventually may be even large load trucking on blends can be done thus offering circularity and achieving net zero. For now, tempo/matador type vehicles on petrol can use E10, E15 and E20 blends - large trucks are still full diesel - eventually 15% e-diesel in heavy trucking will allow even better systemic use.
@@rishabhnegi7275 yes. But that cab be with certain trucks too.
This type of plants need in up 👍👍
Blessed as Hindustani as visionaries are heading in center
Thanks for covering this.
Great coverage
Quality coverage of important developments in the nation.
Very nice explanation madam, Thanks
Nice project.. sir.
Informative, inspiring video.
Where is kejriwal now from Punjab
Praj needs urgently an improved pre-treatment technology to prevent carry over of fermentation inhibitors into fermentation, which reduces product yields to an unacceptable levels. All previous projects of cellulose to ethanol 2G had horrendous losses for this reason.
Though it is not too late , this should have been built long before .
Great job by BHARAT Government
A step in the right direction 🇮🇳🍃🍂💨💥
Best wishes for success
Excellent. Namo namo
Haryana Government must work more agressively to bring more plants to stop stubble burning in area ...
Well done
Please make a video on the CBG plant in Punjab which is also done from rice straw
Too my development happening in BJP states. Very dangerous news for Andolanjeevis 😡😡😡
Is there a net +ve energy gain?
Stubble can be used for making organic Fertilizers like vermicompost, mulching material to increase pro farming ecosystem in soil. The Hay can be used to cultivate mushrooms and feed for animals(wheat hay). And hay bales can be used for construction and insulation and packing material
Why don't we address the elephant in the room, Farmers are just lazy and do not want to do anything which requires extra effort and all of which can generate income. But it's just easier to light fire along the wind and watch farm burn than gather the stubble and collect.
So gives a reason that govt is not giving subsidy, 🙄 stubble could be monetized better even without subsidy.
Idk why farmers are running behind subsidy like kids behind lollipop.
And traditionally we south Indians are paddy cultivators, never has stubble been a problem here as we know how to process it and ever rices stalk is used for weaving baskets and handicrafts.
True! But i think they don't have the resources or the will power to collect, process, value add and sell the byproduct
Because a farmer's time is wasted in trying to sell the main produce itself.
You see, there is no amazon or OLX to easily sell the farm produce!
@@jagadeeshks4601 That was the main objective of new farm Bills that a marketing ecosystem be developed and farmers could sell their produce anywhere, but no they want to sell in Mandis only waiting for IFC to give dates waiting in queue.
If agro reforms is allowed then automatically wholesale commodity marketing apps will be developed like Amazon, Alibaba.
This is the only community that throws a boulder on its Own foot and cries.
Biasnesses related to farming could change the future of India ...
By expanding and Scaling of farming crops for large scale not only given the opportunity and growth for largest hardworking force of farmers of india .....
😮😮😮😮
Need to encourage and support farming related processes biasnesses to uplift India's largest farming community .....😮😮😮😮
Great job. Pls provide economics. What happens to the straw after extracting ethanol. What are the by products
how do we scale this up- say 10 such plants for each big state to start with?
Hope India will reduce import bill to some extent...
Way forward!
There is a unit making paper out of wheat straw in Punjab. Pls build more of them
super anna
Nice
Please do a special story on Punjab ethanol plant too that will stop wasteful burning.
What is the cost of baling - I read Re 1500 was reason given why burn paddy straw in Punjab? What is ECONOMICS of ethanol generation from this? Is it profitable End to end?
Mr Gadkari ethanol man
BCL industries in Punjab already produces 2G ethanol.... Please check its website for full details
How is it just rice? What about wheat?
Air polution necessary or luxuryby farmers waste arrangements due to
Delhi NCR is suffering heavily due to stubble burning ...
What baffles me is, why can’t they use stubbles for composting? When it mixed with decomposer or cattle manure, it becomes excellent organic fertiliser. I’m a farmer and nothing is waste in my farm. Every organic material goes for biogas and composting. Farming can be profitable and sustainable only if we are efficient with the process.
I hope this plant will produce more fuel than what we burn while carrying thease tons of stubble via Trucks! Good work though 👍
🙏🏼👍🏼👍🏼
What is reason for difference between Haryana and Punjab policies?
I wonder why this problem is limited only to the Delhi region when rice paddy is grown across peninsular India. Is there something special there?
Paddy straw is a major cattle feed so no one burn it 👍👍👍
@@tigerking2742 rice paddy is never used for cattle feed only wheat paddy is used
@@shivmohan2982 You told you that , Cattle are fed rice straw atleast in East India where I live
@@shivmohan2982 entire Bengal Bihar and Odisha people are using paddy straw 👍👍in northern India I don't know
@@shivmohan2982 expand ur knowledge
AAP in Punjab cannot do this because they want to live a freebie life and push the burden on to the future generation
In my opinion is it Sustainable development, I don't know, All The Best, IN my Opinion North India has Fertile soil and Surplus water, And, Missutilising The Resources
Ohh That’s thats reason praj stock giving 55% profit from last year I seen IN RHIS VIDEO every Board having Praj Name Along with IOC 😂 So news was last year sometimes longer view help you to take better investment decision in stock market. 😊
But it was high upto 95% 😂 also now stable at 55% for now.
The gasification Fischer Tropsch process would be better since it makes drop in liquid fuels that are chemically the same as liquid fuels made from fossil fuels.
Fischer tropsch process is to convert syn gas to hydrocarbons . The feedstock here is rice husk . How are the 2 connected ?
@@gauravshukla75 Rice husk can be gasified to produce liquid fuels via Fischer Tropsch. Risk husk is ligincellulosic biomass.
Few people realize that all of the arguments against biofuels are cherry picked and electrification has ligitimite issues besides coal being used to produce electricity.
Biofuels made from agricultural or forestry residues does not cause land use change. Cover crops, marine plants, and bioenergy crops grown to restore land also do not require land use change.
Biofuels made from the following sources above do not cooperate with food production.
Making biofuels by pyrolysis of ligincellulosic biomass produces biochar which stores carbon permanently in soil. Therefore biofuels can be carbon negative which means that they can reduce atmospheric co2 to restore the climate to its pre industrial state.
Electric vehicles will increase electricity demand which will require either more power lines or more voltage through existing power lines. Both can ignite wildfires like the ones in California. Wildfires can also burn underground as well which means that burying power lines will not eliminate ignition risk.
Electric vehicles increase electricity demand which would mean more SF6 gas. SF6 is the single most potent greenhouse gas.
Electric vehicles divert materials away from houses specifically copper. Housing is more important than transportation. CNBC mentions this is there video “Why the US can’t build houses fast enough”.
Electric vehicle battery fires contaminate the environment with Manganese oxide, Nickel oxide and Hydrogen fluoride. There is already enough heavy metals in the environment so do you really want to risk adding more? Hydrogen fluoride is toxic if inhaled. It is very difficult to create a battery which is energy dense, non flammable and non toxic all at the same time.
Haryana acha Kar raha hhh ,,,,aur Punjab kuch nahi Kar raha ,aur delhi khasti fir rahi hhhh Punjab ki aap govt ke karan 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Indian democracy works but very slowly..may that's how democracy works...
You need a person with a mettle of PM Modi.
Although they're using straw as feedstock, how much energy is being used for distillation of ethanol because straw has very low concentration of starch
Do you even know how ethanol is made? It is a biodigester, fermenter with right substrates. I don't see any drastuc energy consumption from this plant. Do you use energy to convert milk into yogurt at your place? Come on man! Please google a bit about how this process works.
@@srinisbir8781 do you? How do you distil ethanol from the resulting feedstock in very low concentrations?
@@dominicdmello7531 it is a biodigester. It will take long time, but not high energy.
Straw doesn't have high sugar levels, but it has cellulose and sugar polymers which can be broken down(hydrolysis) to get sugar.
Most agricultural waste, Even bamboo sticks are used to make ethanol!
@@dominicdmello7531 yeast dies when ethanol concentration reaches 13%
So, its upto the column distillation unit to concentrate it to different purity levels.
Under previous govt, we could achieve 1.5% blending in 60+ years - the technology is very old yet nothing under them. Modi govt doing first 70 years of work in 8 years across numerous sectors...
Conveyor system not ok
Well, this should be paired with other schemes too as the main reason for farmers setting fire to stubble is a short time window to get rid of the stubble as they have to plant two crops successively.
We gotta change cropping patterns
Bro, cropping patterns are soil and climate/season dependent. It is we who have to adapt.
I think 🤔 time has come for rice consumption regions to pressure Govt to implement MSP for their paddy products as Northern region is producing solely for profit n they r zealously guarding their greed through Govt subsidy, depletion of ground water n pollution of air through burning which r of grave concerns
Let's go green with Love
What about electriciti now we solved that problem what about electriciti
🙏ap hi solve kar do
Modi hai tho mumkeen hai!
Built more ithinol plant...
The Project Manager is poorly educated and giving wrong information; eg. what remains in the field is remanants of the rice plant "rice husk"...
And the narrator also has not done her homework, to allow such a glaring mistake to remain in the video.
Hypothesis is wrong
Mukesh Ambani is not going to like this.....!!!
Why? Ethanol is not a replacement for Petrol/Diesel. You need to stop demonizing Ambani or Adani. You look like a loser when you do that.
PRINT would be lamenting this initiative move...now they wont be able to blame BJP😆
Then who else is responsible for appointing such a stupid, uninformed person as the Project Manager? For example, he does not know the difference between rice-plant straw and rice-husk (qv @5:46).
Nice
