Halder Venture Limited
February 15, 2025
In recent years, the world has been achieving a remarkable transformation in energy sourcing to sustainability. One of the best prospects of biofuels as an alternative to traditional fossil fuels is Ethanol from broken rice, since it helps both in the reduction of agricultural waste and in using it as fuel and having it in an environmentally friendly alternative for the same. India, being a rice-producing country with a propped-up production level of rice, can contribute significantly to growing demand for green fuels carrying an initiative towards renewable energy.
Green fuels, like ethanol, are set to revolutionize the energy industry, not just because of environmental benefits, but also due to economic and strategic needs.Fossil fuel has caused the carbon emissions to rise to unprecedented heights, causing climate change, air pollution, and energy insecurity. Ethanol burns cleaner and more renewable than fossil fuel in a significant way, as follows:
Lower carbon footprints - Ethanol minimises greenhouse gas emissions by 50% in comparison to gasoline. Significantly, it is one way by which it can introduce an important factor in the solution to climate change.
Air quality improvement - Ethanol combustion produces lower particulate matter and fewer harmful emissions thus reducing air pollution.
Energy security - Since India imports more than 85% of crude oil from abroad, ethanol production reduces reliance on the unpredictable international oil market.
India has undertaken several initiatives that would increase its ethanol use in standard fuel for its sustainable and energy independence goals. Under the National Bio-Energy Mission and the Ethanol Blending Programme (EBP), it is planned that 20 percent of petrol would be blended with ethanol by the year 2025, thus reducing fossil fuel consumption.
Currently, the emphasis is on producing ethanol from grains, especially broken rice, as a shift from producing ethanol traditionally from sugarcane molasses. This change is to guarantee a steadier and diverse supply base. Rice ethanol would also complement the waste by-products of agricultural practices, while at the same time ensuring no diversion from food crops, thus preserving food security for the country.
Rice milling generates vast amounts of broken rice, which previously had minimal economic value. By converting this by-product into ethanol, Halder Venture Limited and other industry leaders are preventing waste, ensuring resource optimization, and reducing environmental strain.
Fossil fuels are the main source of carbon dioxide emissions. Ethanol, being a plant-derived fuel, absorbs CO₂ during its cultivation, making it a carbon-neutral fuel source. Studies show that lifecycle emissions could be reduced by almost 50 percent with fuel from ethanol compared to conventional fuels.
With the increase in crude oil import dependence, India is benefiting from the increased energy security offered by local production of ethanol. Burning by-products by using locally available rice not only reduces oil import pressure but strengthens the renewable energy capacity of the nation.
This will definitely help in boosting the rural economy and provide job opportunities while supporting sustainable agricultural practices. Farmers of rice have been given an alternative source of income. The previously broken or surplus rice that had minimal commercial value has now become an extremely high-demand raw material for ethanol production.
As a company committed to sustainability and innovation, Halder Venture Limited embraced ethanol production as a strategic initiative to bless India's green energy vision. Effectively using broken rice for its ethanol, the company really lives within the country in order to curb waste, reduce emissions, and stimulate economic growth.
Setting a new trend in circular economy practices, Halder Venture Limited is known for advanced processing and strategic crop industry practices to ensure that agri-waste products are put to maximum environmental and economic benefit.
Impractical as well as non-sustainable solutions are now required in the transition of energies globally; of such a solution, the hydrocarbon ethanol from rice stands on a guest post in contributing to the energy without fossil fuel revolution. More than being a biofuel, rice-based ethanol promotes a strategic change towards a clean, green future- all at once addressing agricultural waste, carbon emissions, and independence of energy.
With Halder Venture spearheading the initiative, the transforming ethanol value chain will definitely turn the waste to wealth, push India toward energy self-sufficiency, and further the commitment of the country toward global sustainability goals. Renewed energy is no longer an idea but an ever-arching reality; ethanol from rice is at the forefront of this evolution.
