The Central Government has declared that no separate environmental clearance is required to produce additional ethanol from B-heavy molasses in place of using C-heavy Molasses.
All such proposals are intended to undertake additional production of ethanol from B-heavy Molasses, sugar cane juice, sugar syrup or sugar.
It does not contribute to the pollution load in the existing distilleries or sugar mills to which environmental clearance have already been granted.
It will give benefits to farmers and sugar industry.
