Our Purpose

As a trusted ethanol production company and bulk ethanol supplier, we enable efficient, compliant, and sustainable ethanol production for both fuel and industrial applications.

From feedstock processing to purification and distribution, Pancarbo operates as a reliable industrial ethanol supplier, serving sectors such as fuel blending, chemicals, and pharmaceuticals. Our integrated systems support sustainable ethanol production while strengthening India’s renewable fuel ethanol ecosystem and national decarbonization goals.

Pancarbo stands among the emerging ethanol manufacturers from Punjab, contributing to India’s ethanol blending program by delivering fuel-grade ethanol to oil marketing companies and industrial partners.

Our Vision

To enable a greener fuel ecosystem and a climate-positive, carbon-conscious future by accelerating India’s transition towards biofuel ethanol and renewable fuel ethanol solutions, low-carbon, circular, and regenerative energy systems.

As an ethanol producer, Pancarbo envisions a world where cleaner fuels are not an alternative but the default, driving decarbonization, net-zero ambitions, energy security, and long-term environmental stewardship.

Our Mission

To actively support India’s Ethanol Blending Programme and further strengthen the national E20 by 2030 goal by strengthening ethanol production, supply, and infrastructure.

As a reliable ethanol supplier for large industries, Pancarbo aims to strengthen ethanol production, supply chains, and infrastructure through innovation and operational excellence.

Through responsible resource utilization and grain-based ethanol production, we aim to transform agricultural feedstock and organic resources into value-driven energy solutions, supporting ethanol production for sustainable energy and contributing meaningfully to India’s clean energy transition.

Our Products

Delivering sustainable and high-value energy solutions.

1G Ethanol

Produced from starch-based feedstocks such as grains through fermentation and distillation, this grain-based ethanol manufacturer delivers fuel-grade ethanol suitable for blending which in turn helps in reducing vehicular emissions, contributing to the national biofuel ethanol mission.

Distillers Dried Grains with Solubles

A nutrient-rich co-product generated during grain-based ethanol production, DDGS is widely used as high-protein cattle feed, enhancing resource efficiency and supporting circular bio-economy principles.

Clientele & OEM Partnerships

Pancarbo works closely with industry stakeholders and oil marketing companies as a bulk ethanol supplier for oil companies in India and ethanol supplier for fuel blending operations. As a reliable ethanol supplier for large industries, the company collaborates with partners across the fuel, pharmaceutical, and chemical sectors.

These collaborations strengthen the ethanol supply chain while supporting India’s long-term clean energy and decarbonization goals.

Fuel Ethanol Supply

Supplying fuel-grade ethanol to oil marketing companies as part of the biofuel program and E20 blending program. This includes ethanol procurement to support national policies.

Industrial Applications

Supplying ethanol to oil marketing companies for fuel blending under the Ethanol Blended Petrol (EBP) Programme.

Supply Chain Coordination

Working with OEMs, logistics partners, and storage facility operators to ensure efficient transportation, storage, and delivery of ethanol to designated depots and refineries.

Our Ethanol Manufacturing Process

A seamless, reliable, and expertly managed process from concept to commissioning.

1

Grain Storage, Handling & Milling

Grains are received at the plant, weighed, pre-cleaned, and stored in silos. From the storage silos, grains are conveyed through mechanised handling systems to the cleaning & milling section. Cleaned grain milled using dry milling process in Hammer mills & stored in flour silos.

2

Slurry Preparation & Liquefaction

The milled grain flour is mixed with water & recycled streams to form slurry. This slurry is conditioned to the required temperature and pH for enzymatic processing. During liquefaction, enzymes are added to the slurry, and heat is applied to gelatinise the starch. The starch is broken down into shorter-chain carbohydrates, forming a pumpable mash.

3

Saccharification & Fermentation

The liquefied mash is further transfer into fermenters & add the active Yeast, enzyme and other nutrients for parallel conversion into sugar & fermentation. During fermentation sugar converted into ethanol & carbon dioxide. Carbon dioxide generated during fermentation is recovered as a by-product. During process significant heat release & remove by passing cooling water through pH.

4

Distillation and Dehydration

The fermented wash is processed through multi-pressure distillation columns to separate ethanol from wash. The ethanol is concentrated through molecular sieve beds to the desired purity and transferred to ethanol storage tanks.

5

Decantation & Dryer

The residue from distillation, known as spent wash, is sent to decanter centrifuges, where it is separated into wet cake (solid fraction) and thin slop (liquid fraction). Thin slop is concentrated in multi-effect evaporators to form syrup, which is blended with wet cake. The blended material is dried to produce DDGS through Dryer. DDGS is a value-added cattle feed product.

6

Water Recovery & Effluent Management

Process condensate generated from Multi-Effect Evaporator during evaporation is treated through Condensate Polishing Unit (CPU), Ultraviolet Disinfection System (UV) & Reverse Osmosis (RO) systems and reused within the plant for cooling towers and process applications, supporting zero liquid discharge operations.
