Abstract

20% ethanol blending is targeted for petroleum fuel (EBP-20) by countries. However, traditional feedstocks like sugarcane, rice, and maize are facing constraints due to climate change and food security concerns. To bridge this gap, this research explores that Sweet Sorghum as an alternative potential feedstock for bio-ethanol production. While having lower conversion efficiency and ethanol price compared to traditional crops, Sweet Sorghum offers advantages such as multiple cropping cycles per year, high temperature tolerance, and low water requirements. This makes it a sustainable choice for bio-ethanol production and augmenting the ethanol supply.
