Cultivated biomass has begun to be used to generate bioethanol. They are categorised as first (1G), second (2G) and third-generation (3G), based\u00a0on the source of raw material used for bioethanol production.<\/p>\n<p>Raw materials for 1G bioethanol synthesis are corn seeds and sugarcane; both are food sources. There is not sufficient food for everyone; so the use of 1G is a major problem. However, some countries have sufficient raw materials to manufacture 1G.<\/p>\n<p>2G bioethanol can be produced using inedible farm waste left over after harvest. Corn cobs, rice husks, wheat straw and sugarcane bagasse can all be transformed into cellulose and fermented into ethanol that can then be mixed with conventional fuels.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/entri.sng.link\/Bcofz\/yv45\/8wer\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Practise free mock test and ace your government exams!

The use of 3G is that it does not compete with food. However, economic viability remains a critical issue.<\/p>\n<p>The country has been encouraging 2G bioethanol to attain its E20 target. In addition to lessening agricultural waste incineration, it can also enable to meet the target of converting waste into energy. The 2G plant will play an important role in making bioethanol available for blending.<\/p>\n<p>According to Tarun Kapoor, secretary, Union Ministry of Petroleum &amp; Natural Gas (MoPNG), it is estimated that ethanol production in India will triple to almost 10 billion litres per year by 2025.<\/p>\n<p>A two-day symposium was organised at Indian Institute of Technology, Tirupati, by the Department of Chemical Engineering in association with ASN Fuels Pvt Ltd, Bangalore. The symposium targeted to discuss and debate how 2G Bioethanol can become a reality.<\/p>\n<p>The refineries plan to construct 2G bioethanol plants, according to Kushal Banerjee, chief general manager (CGM), Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Ltd (HPCL).<\/p>\n<p>HPCL plans to establish four 2G ethanol plants that will transform agricultural waste into biofuel, lessening toxic air pollution in northern India. IN addition, HPCL has plans to construct four plants to produce ethanol using grains, such as surplus maize, surplus rice and damaged grain.<\/p>\n<p>The first 2G ethanol biorefinery is being established at Bathinda, Punjab. HPCL has strategically invested in Bangalore-based ASN Fuels for the establishment of a 2G Ethanol Pilot Plant at Tirupati in collaboration with IIT-Tirupati.<\/p>\n<p>They are working on agricultural waste-to-ethanol model with pilot plant implementation that produces 10 litres per day (LPD), and are now planning to it scale up to 2,000 LPD mid-scale plant, said DM Naveen Giri, CEO, ASN Fuels Pvt Ltd. Intermittent thermal equalisers have been provided in the pilot plant to maintain the needed pipeline temperature and to scrub the reacted carbon dioxide that can be bottled and sold.<\/p>\n<div class=\"_yeti_main_container\" data-attr=\"not-done\">\n<p class=\"_yeti_done\">ASN Fuels Pvt Ltd has filed a patent for loop reactor technology. It is a long, serpentine tubular reactor, in which fermentable sugars are converted to ethanol with the help of brewer\u2019s yeast. Ethanol plant experts pointed out a need\u00a0 of few kilometres of pipeline when the pipeline reactor technology scaling up calculations were done to suit the industrial standards for an average rated capacity of 50 kilo litres per day (KLPD).<\/p>\n<p>This ignited an idea to come up with reactive pipeline technology, wherein the pipeline relates the sugar factories where the ethanol is produced to the blending depot at the closest oil manufacturing companies.<\/p>\n<p>Reactive pipeline technology is poised to be a game-changer for sugar factories and grain-based distilleries since uninterrupted raw material supply is a major challenge. Our dependency on oil \/ fuel will greatly be reduced and we will become\u00a0<em>Atmanirbhar Bharat<\/em>\u00a0as more and more ethanol is made available.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/entri.sng.link\/Bcofz\/yv45\/8wer\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Practise free mock test and ace your government exams!

Some of the benefits are the following:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Reduced dependency on crude oil imports: For oil importing countries like India, The major driving<br \/>\nforce is to reduce their dependency on fossil fuels. It benefits energy security as it can reduce<br \/>\ncrude oil by using domestically produced energy sources. Countries like India, having a limited<br \/>\naccess to crude oil resources, can grow crops for energy use and gain some economic freedom.<\/li>\n<li>Cleaner environment: Due to the fact that the exhausts from the automobile engines using<br \/>\nbioethanol blended gasoline is more cleaner in nature, the second major benefit of using<br \/>\nbioethanol is its ability to reduce the overall carbon footprint and their use help in reduction of<br \/>\ngreenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. It will also reduce the GHG emissions by reducing the of<br \/>\nagriculture residues burning.<\/li>\n<li>Renewable energy source: Bioethanol is produced using plant materials such as corn, sugarcane,<br \/>\ncrop residues, etc. Since, all these are crops can be grown; bioethanol fuel is a renewable energy<br \/>\nsource.<\/li>\n<li>Financial benefit for farmers: Agricultural residues and wastes which otherwise are burnt by<br \/>\nfarmers can be utilized for producing bioethanol.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>\n<strong>Raw material components:<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>As stated earlier, the 2G bioethanol technology uses ligno-cellulosic biomass as a feedstock.<br \/>\nLignocellulosic biomass is mainly composed of plant cell walls. It essentially contains three major<br \/>\ncomponents viz. Lignin, Cellulose, and Hemicelluloses. Cellulose and Hemicelluloses are the structural<br \/>\ncarbohydrates while lignin is heterogeneous phenolic polymer.<br \/>\nCellulose is a polysaccharide made up of linear glucan chains held together by intra molecular hydrogen<br \/>\nbonds and by intermolecular Van-der Waals forces. In order to obtain glucose, the crystalline cellulose<br \/>\nmust be subjected to some preliminary chemical or mechanical degradation.<br \/>\nHemicellulose consists of short, highly branched chains of sugars. Hemicelluloses are highly amorphous<br \/>\nand branched structures. It contains pentoses, hemicelluloses chains. Compared to cellulose, the<br \/>\nhemicelluloses can easily be broken down to form their simple monomeric sugars. The exact sugar<br \/>\ncomposition of hemicelluloses can vary depending on the type of plant.<br \/>\nLignin is a non-sugar-based polymer. Lignin is not a suitable component for microbial fermentation process.<br \/>\nIt inhibits microbial growth and fermentation. However, lignin can be used as energy source as it yields more energy when burned, and thus can be utilized for combined heat and power production in the<br \/>\nbioethanol process.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Process Description:<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The bioethanol process is carried out in following four major steps.<br \/>\n1. Pre treatment: Physical or chemical pre-treatment of the fibers to expose the cellulose so as to<br \/>\nreduce its crystallinity.<br \/>\n2. Hydrolysis : Cellulose polymer is hydrolysed with enzymes or acids, to convert it into simple<br \/>\n(glucose) sugars<br \/>\n3. Fermentation: Microbial fermentation of simple sugars to form ethanol.<br \/>\n4. Distillation and dehydration to produce 99.5% vol. fuel grade ethanol.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/entri.sng.link\/Bcofz\/yv45\/8wer\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Practise free mock test and ace your government exams! Download Entri App!<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Pretreatment:<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Due to the presence of lignin in \u2018Lignocellulosic \u201cmaterials, and compared to the accessibility of sucrose in<br \/>\nsugar cane and starch in grains, cellulose and hemicelluloses are not easily and readily available for<br \/>\nsaccharification and fermentation. A \u201cpre-treatment\u201d step is hence required to facilitate conversion of<br \/>\ncellulose and hemicelluloses to fermentable sugars.<br \/>\nThe pre-treatment process converts hemicellulose carbohydrates into soluble sugars (like glucose, xylose,<br \/>\netc.) by hydrolysis reactions in which acetyl groups in the hemicellulose are liberated in the form of acetic<br \/>\nacid. Biomass feedstock is chemically treated by disrupting cell wall structures in the pre-treatment step<br \/>\nwhich facilitates downstream enzymatic hydrolysis. This section is also termed as \u2018Delignification\u2019 section<br \/>\nas the pre-treatment drives some lignin into solution. This step reduces cellulose crystallinity and chain<br \/>\nlength. Process parameters such as residence time, temperature, and catalyst loading affects the pre<br \/>\ntreatment process. The pre treated biomass is sent to the hydrolysis reactor.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/3MWTnuS\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Grab Latest Study Materials! Register Here!<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Hydrolysis:<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Hydrolysis process is used to convert hemicellulose and cellulose content of lignocellulosic biomass into<br \/>\nfermentable monomeric sugars. This process can be carried out by two different routes. These routes are<br \/>\nAcid hydrolysis and Enzymatic hydrolysis.<br \/>\nIn acid hydrolysis process, mineral acids such as HCl, H2SO4, HNO3, or HF are widely used for hydrolysing<br \/>\nlignocellulosic biomass. In enzymatic hydrolysis, Cellulose is converted to glucose using cellulase<br \/>\nenzymes. Enzymatic hydrolysis process is also termed as \u2018Enzymatic Saccharification\u2019 process. A<br \/>\ncellulase enzyme is prepared from mixture of enzymes (catalytic proteins) which work together to break<br \/>\ndown cellulose fibers into glucose monomers.<br \/>\nFor higher conversion and it\u2019s suitability to the lower grade of metallurgy, enzymatic hydrolysis route is<br \/>\npreferred over the acid hydrolysis route.<br \/>\nThe glucose and other sugars obtained from hydrolysis of hemicelluloses are co-fermented to form ethanol in the next step.<\/p>\n<h3>\n<strong>Fermentation:<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Fermentation process step is similar to the 1G ethanol technology. In this step, the hexoses and pentoses<br \/>\nare converted into ethanol by employing variety of micro organisms, such as yeast, bacteria, fungi, etc.<br \/>\nDepending on how the enzymatic hydrolysis and fermentation steps are integrated, the technology can<br \/>\nfollow either of following route.<br \/>\n\uf0b7 Separate Hydrolysis and Fermentation<br \/>\n\uf0b7 Separate Hydrolysis and Co-fermentation<br \/>\n\uf0b7 Simultaneous Saccharification and Co-fermentationDistillation and Purification:<br \/>\nDistillation and purification steps are also similar to the technology used in 1G bioethanol process. From<br \/>\nfermented mash, fuel grade ethanol is produced through distillation and adsorption via molecular sieve.<br \/>\nEtanol and water forms an azeotropic mixture. Hence, the distillation can be used to obtain ethanol purity<br \/>\nonly upto 95.5 vol.% (corresponding to azeotropic composition) Desired fuel grade ethanol specification (of 99.5% vol.) is achieved by passing the 95.5 vol.% ethanol obtained from distillation through a molecular sieve.<\/p>\n<h3>\n<strong>Technology Selection Criteria:<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>There are various technologies presently available for manufacturing 2G bioethanol. The main parameters<br \/>\nthat influence the technology selection are discussed in brief.<br \/>\n(1) Feedstock: Ability to process variety of feedstocks like rice straw, wheat straw, bagasse, corn cob,<br \/>\ncotton stalk etc. Technology suitable to use mixed feedstock can be preferred.<br \/>\n(2) Conversion Efficiency: This decides the quantity of feedstock required for the given ethanol<br \/>\nthroughput. Technology with higher conversion efficiency is preferred. Typical conversion<br \/>\nefficiencies are 20%.<br \/>\n(3) Conversion time: This varies from each technology. The hydrolysis, fermentation are batch<br \/>\nprocesses and depending upon the technology used, the net conversion time will vary. Apart from<br \/>\nstart up time, this impacts capital costs and inventory costs.<br \/>\n(4) Enzyme\/Yeast Requirement: Quantity and cost of enzymes\/yeast may affect overall economics of<br \/>\nthe technology selected.<br \/>\n(5) Utility requirement: In general, the 2G ethanol technologies require significant amount of steam for<br \/>\nremoving water from the raw ethanol stream. The concentration of ethanol leaving the fermenter<br \/>\nhence thus dominates the steam requirements; this is usually `5%.<br \/>\n(6) Water recycle: Technology to be optimized and preferred when fresh water intake is minimized.<br \/>\n(7) Turn down requirements: Ability of the technology to run on low turndown, say 25% is preferred.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/entri.sng.link\/Bcofz\/yv45\/8wer\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Practise free mock test and ace your government exams!

These issues need a detailed assessment and are briefed as below.<br \/>\n1. Commercial scale operation of 2G Ethanol Process: The commercial scale plant experience is<br \/>\navailable for one technology licensor. And others have demo or pilot scale experience.<br \/>\n2. Higher cost of production compared to first generation ethanol: The cost of ethanol production from<br \/>\nlignocellulosic biomass is higher than first generation ethanol and there may be requirement of<br \/>\nsubsidy for economic viability and competitive ethanol pricing.<br \/>\n3. Commercial availability of lignin boiler: Lignin is recommended to be used as fuel in boiler and<br \/>\ntherefore the commercial availability of such applications needs to be ascertained.<br \/>\n4. Pretreatment forms a critical section and is the main process step that separates the 1G and 2G<br \/>\ntechnologies. Commercial experience for pretreatment section is not available.<br \/>\n5. The availability of biomass round the year depends on proper pre planning and it is essential to<br \/>\nbuild the ecosystem for ensuring biomass supply. Supply of secondary fuel for use in boiler is also<br \/>\nto be addressed.<br \/>\n6. Biogas and Co2 utilization: Finding the consumer and\/or disposal of Biogas and Co2 produced<br \/>\nfrom 2G technology remains an open issue.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Indian_Scenario\"><\/span><strong>Indian Scenario:<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The practice of blending ethanol in gasoline was begun in India in 2001. Government of India, in 2003,<br \/>\nmandated blending of 5% ethanol with gasoline in 9 States and 4 Union Territories. This was subsequently<br \/>\ncontinued on an all-India basis in November 2006 (in 20 States and 8 Union Territories except a few North<br \/>\nEast states and Jammu &amp; Kashmir). Indian Oil companies were asked to increase the ethanol blending<br \/>\ntarget to 15% by Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas, on 1 September, 2015 and achieve this blend in<br \/>\nas many states as possible.<br \/>\nAt 10% blending, the projected ethanol demand is ~5500 million liters per anum by year 2021-2022. It<br \/>\nwould certainly require significant investments in near future. Presently, First few plants to produce<br \/>\nbioethanol using 2G technologies are under consideration and are at various stages of planning and<br \/>\ndesign.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/3MWTnuS\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Grab Latest Study Materials!

The increased interest to use microalgae is also attributed to the fact<br \/>\nthat it can be generated all year along and does not need any pesticides or herbicides. It can be produced in sea water or brackish water and thus do not compete with agricultural land. Comparatively, microalgae have ability to reduce freshwater consumption as it needs less water than terrestrial crops.
