據(jù)安迅思孟買8月3日消息，印度東部奧里薩邦政府消息人士周二表示，該邦已批準三個乙醇項目，預(yù)計將增加乙醇與汽車燃料調(diào)和的可用性。

　　國有印度石油公司(IOC)計劃在奧里薩邦巴拉索爾的Balgopalpur工業(yè)園區(qū)新建一個日產(chǎn)500千升乙醇的工廠。預(yù)計該工廠將需要87億盧比(合1.17億美元)的投資。

　　另一家國有公司印度斯坦石油公司(HPCL)也將在奧里薩邦納巴朗普爾區(qū)的Umerkote新建一個乙醇工廠。

　　該工廠將分兩期建設(shè)，投資50億盧比，日產(chǎn)乙醇500千升。

　　Newalt能源公司將投資12.5億盧比，在奧里薩邦安格爾區(qū)新建一個日產(chǎn)100千升乙醇的工廠。

　　政府消息人士稱，所有這些工廠都將使用谷物作為乙醇生產(chǎn)的原料，但沒有提供這些項目完成的時間表。

　　2020年12月，印度政府允許將糧食用于生產(chǎn)乙醇。

　　在2020年12月至2021年11月的乙醇供應(yīng)年度中，印度預(yù)計在汽車燃料中調(diào)和約8.5%的乙醇。

　　印度預(yù)計，到2022年乙醇與汽油的混合比例將達到10%，到2025年，混合比例將達到20%。

　　India’s Odisha state approves three ethanol projects

　　India’s eastern state of Odisha has approved three ethanol projects which are expected to augment the availability of ethanol for blending with auto fuel, a state government source said on Tuesday.

　　State-owned Indian Oil Corp (IOC) plans to set up a 500 kilolitre/day plant at Balgopalpur industrial estate in Balasore. The plant is expected to require an investment of Indian rupees (Rs) 8.7bn ($117m).

　　Another state-owned company Hindustan Petroleum Corporation’s (HPCL) will also set up an ethanol plant at Umerkote in Nabarangpur district.

　　The plant, which will be set up in two phases with an investment of Rs5bn, will produce 500 kilolitres/day of ethanol.

　　Newalt Energy will invest Rs1.25bn to set up a 100 kilolitres/day ethanol plant in Angul district.

　　All these plants will use grain as feedstock for ethanol production, the government source said but did not provide a timeline for the completion of these projects.

　　In December 2020, the Indian government allowed the use of foodgrains for the production of ethanol.

　　India is expected to blend around 8.5% of ethanol with auto fuel in the current ethanol supply year which runs from December 2020 to November 2021.

　　India expects to blend 10% ethanol with petrol by 2022 and 20% by 2025.
