Abstract
Due to globalization, privatization and liberalization; sugar industry has to face the domestic as well as international competition. Thus, for survival of the industry, cost effectiveness and economics of by-products become very vital. The aim of this work is to assess the potential, in the short term, for fuel ethanol production by using intermediate molasses in a sugar plant in central India. The by-product plant can support the existing plant to improve the general economy, financial viability, economic status of sugarcane growers and workers by way of paying higher prices for sugarcane crop and also create more employment opportunities in the rural areas by setting up industries based on sugarcane by-products. For assessing the amount of Ethanol production an experimental study has been carried out which find out the amount of ethanol production via fermentation process of molasses sample acquired from the plant. It gives more fine results as the quality of sugarcane changes from place to place.
Highlights
Worldwide Energy utilization in the last 50 years has quickly expanded and is required to keep on growing throughout the following 50 years, in any case, with noteworthy contrasts
Biomass can be divided into primary and secondary products. The former are produced by direct use of solar energy through photosynthesis
Secondary products are generated by the decomposition or conversion of organic substances in higher organisms; these are for example liquid manure and sewage sludge
Summary
Worldwide Energy utilization in the last 50 years has quickly expanded and is required to keep on growing throughout the following 50 years, in any case, with noteworthy contrasts. Hydrogen gas should be produced from low-cost feedstock such as agricultural wastes and food industry effluents like molasses to increase the commercial profits of biological hydrogen production. The sugarcane agro-industry have transformed the sugar mill from being just a food producer into anexpanded production plant since it can yields food, energy, and biofuels [7].
