The significance of this development is profound. Ethanol, a clean and renewable energy source, has a density akin to petrol. When used in fuel, it enhances combustion performance and reduces exhaust emissions. This plant’s approach, utilizing low-grade coal, saves millions of tonnes of grain annually – a crucial move given the rising grain prices and China’s fluctuating corn output. The brain behind this operation, DICP director Liu Zhongmin, has been on this path since 2010. His team’s relentless pursuit of an environmentally friendly pathway culminated in this achievement. The catalyst in this process, originally costly, has been replaced with non-precious … Continue reading China Unveils World’s Largest Coal-Based Ethanol Plant in Groundbreaking Energy Shift
