On World Biofuel Day, celebrated on August 10, PM Narendra Modi dedicated the new 2G Ethanol Plant to the nation. This will enable the reduction of pollution caused by stubble burning in Haryana. Established by the Indian Oil Corporation Ltd. (IOCL) at the cost of more than INR 900 crore, the plant is located close to the Panipat refinery. It aims to utilise about 2 lakh tonnes per annum (TPA) of rice straw (crop residue) to generate around 3 crore litres of ethanol annually.
