NATIONAL POLICY ON BIOFUELS

The Steel Authority of India is planning to install India’s first-ever gas-to-ethanol plant at its Chandrapur ferroalloy facility. Supported by the Steel Research & Technology Mission of India, the plant resonates to reduce the crude oil imports and carbon emissions. Reportedly, the Rs 400 crore plant will get 20% viable gas funding under National Biofuel Policy 2018. Notably, it will be the only fourth such plant in the world.
