Ethanol producers
1.Valero
2. ADM
Cleaner-Burning Biofuel
Our customers, primarily large energy companies, blend these products with unleaded gasoline in various concentrations to increase the fuel’s octane rating and according to EESI helps to reduce harmful emissions.
Today, ADM produces ethanol from corn feedstock through an optimized process that simultaneously produces large amounts of animal feed.
3. Bajaj Sugar
From Cane to Crystals
Sugarcane is broadly classified into three varieties viz., Early, General, and Unapproved. Typically sugarcane seeds are sown in the months of February and October every year. The first seed growth is known as Plant and subsequent growth after harvesting from the stem is known as Ratoon. The Early variety has more sugar content than the General variety.
All farmers within the command area of our Mills are provided with a calendar which tells them when they can expect a Mill Supply Ticket (Purchy) against which they will deliver their produce.
The farmers then harvest the cane and transport it to the mill. Sometimes the cane is also bought at the mill's own centers within the command area from where it is then transported in trucks or via rail to the mill.
Cane is weighed using an electronic weigh bridge and unloaded into cane carriers. It is then prepared for milling by knives and shredders. Sugarcane juice is then extracted by pressing the prepared cane using mills consisting of three rollers.

Bioethanol
Bioethanol is a clean-burning, renewable alternative to fossil fuel. It reduces consumer impact of greenhouse gas emissions, provides American jobs, and reduces dependence on foreign oil. POET is proud to produce bioethanol at 34 locations.
Bioethanol is an essential component of the 138-billion-gallon U.S. gasoline market.
When blended with gasoline, bioethanol increases octane ratings, reduces production cost by volume and facilitates compliance with emissions and fuel efficiency standards.
Bioethanol is by far the most widely produced renewable fuel in the United States today, with approximately 15.7 billion gallons produced in 2019. It is contained in 98% of the gasoline sold in the United States.
The majority of the bioethanol in the U.S. is made from corn, but it also can be produced from other feedstocks such as agricultural residue, grain sorghum, wheat, barley and potatoes. Bioethanol that is made from non-corn sources is called cellulosic bioethanol.
