Igniting a transformation for
a sustainable tomorrow

Enhancing sustainability, reducing environmental impact

GrainSpan’s foray into the renewable energy sector in 2022 marks a pivotal step in the voyage it has undertaken towards co-creating a sustainable future. By producing ethanol from food grains, we have embraced ethanol’s clean and green energy potential, propelling our country and its people towards sustainable progress.

This strategic shift symbolises our consciousness towards reducing our environmental impact and underscores our commitment to advancing India’s energy autonomy. Fuel, food and feed are just our points of departure in this voyage, and we are poised to explore every possible avenue to prioritize sustainability in every aspect of our operations to arrive at a future based on renewability and recyclability of resources.

Extruding a greener future from the present

GrainSpan is dedicated to embedding sustainability into its manufacturing operations, aiming to restore the planet's ecological balance and forge a more sustainable future. Here's how we're making a difference:

Partnership with Government Initiatives

We proudly support the Government of India's Ethanol Blended Petrol (EBP) Program, which seeks to cut carbon emissions by encouraging ethanol production.

Significant Emission Reductions

By incorporating ethanol, we're able to slash greenhouse gas emissions by up to 30% compared to using pure gasoline, reducing annual gasoline emissions by 60,000 metric tons.

Innovative Use of CO2

The CO2 produced in ethanol manufacturing is captured and reused, promoting the growth of new crops in a beautiful cycle of sustainability.

Towards a Zero-Plastic Future

Our mission to become a zero-plastic organization is in full swing, as we continually find ways to minimize plastic use across all our operations.

Sustainable By-Products

The leftover materials from ethanol production are transformed into protein-rich cattle feed, ensuring nothing goes to waste.

Use of Renewable Energy

Our ethanol facility makes use of solar and wind power, further reducing our carbon footprints by minimizing the use of fossil fuels.

ENVIRONMENTAL CLEARANCES

GrainSpan has conducted environmental impact assessment (EIA) and received the following clearances for the grain-based ethanol plant.

1

Environmental clearance for the establishment of 100 KLPD grain-based plant and 3.5MW captive power plant at Ahmedabad.

2

Six-monthly compliance report for 100 KLPD grain-based plant for ethanol-blended petrol.

3

Environmental clearance for proposed expansion of existing grain-based plant from 100 KLPD to 400 KLPD & captive co-generation from 3.5 MW to 9.75 MW.
