In the case of green fuel, the draft Ethanol Production and Promotion Policy (JEPP) 2021 sees huge potential for commissioning biofuel manufacturing units in the state “as the estimate is that over the next three years the demand for ethanol in Bihar, Jharkhand, Odisha and West Bengal combined will need about 100 crore litres of ethanol annually”, Jharkhand Industries Secretary Pooja Singhal told 바카라.바카라 웹사이트
