About Us
First-generation (1G) Bio-Ethanol is produced from biomass such as sugar containing materials (like sugar cane juice, molasses, sugar beet etc.) and starch containing materials (such as corn, cassava, rotten vegetables such as potatoes, damaged food grain etc.). Ethanol is generally produced from the fermentation of C5 and C6 sugars (mostly xylose and glucose) using classical or GMO yeast strains such as Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
Ethanol is a better blend component for Petrol due to higher Research Octane Number of 108.5, which helps in improved engine power and performance. It also helps in significantly reducing other pollutants (Carbon Monoxide, Sulphur Oxides, Nitrogen Oxides, Hydrocarbon and Particulate Matter) in vehicle exhaust when compared with fossil fuels. Lifecycle analysis (LCA) of Ethanol produced using feedstocks derived from agriculture route, indicates significant reduction in Green House Gas (GHG) emission as compared to conventional fossil fuels. We at Mash are creating a greener future by converting agricultural waste to green renewable energy
