33. The production and use of ethanol helps reduce the production of green house gases and helps eliminate the need for the hazardous MTBE as additive to gasoline. The production of ethanol increases the value addition from the use of cane juice and molasses The production of ethanol increases income of farmers producing raw materials, such as sugarcane, and other appropriate farm produce. It also helps reduce the need for oil imports. 33

41. Mitr Phol’s Business Conclusion Started as a simple sugar factory Moved from energy self-sufficiency to the concept co-generation by saving energy and managing feed stock. Concern over global climate change coupled with sound business rationale led to expansion of the idea into BIO-ENERGY (ethanol plants) by making use of feed stocks from sugar which reduces carbon dioxide and green house gas 41 Mitr Phol Sugarcane Research Center Co.
