Bharat Petroleum Corporation (BPCL) will reportedly produce 100 kilolitres (KL) second generation bio-ethanol per day using paddy straw near Bhandara. The project will be a role model for the entire state, as BPCL will get ethanol to blend in petrol, while burning of paddy straw will stop and farmers will get alternate revenue source.
BPCL is into exploration, production and retailing of petroleum and petrol related products. The retail business unit of BPCL is into marketing of petrol, diesel and kerosene.
