One of our business
strategies is to become
a leader in designing
and building large
capacity (i.e., 100
kiloliters per day (KLPD))
bio-ethanol production
plants in India and in
other countries,
especially in the Europe
and southeast Asia, to
capitalize on the
growing global market
for bio-ethanol.
Ethanol is a clean,
high-octane,
high-performance
automotive fuel commonly
blended in gasoline to
extend supplies and
reduce harmful
emissions. We believe
that prospective global
demand for ethanol
outstrips current
supply. Bio-ethanol can
be made from various
forms of biomass,
including sugarcane,
wheat, corn/maize and
sugar beets. Bio-ethanol
is produced by
extracting, fermenting
and distilling the
sugars trapped in these
biomass sources.
There are three basic
steps in converting
biomass to ethanol: (1)
converting biomass to a
fermentation feedstock
(some form of
fermentable sugar); (2)
fermenting biomass
intermediates using
biocatalysts
(microorganisms
including yeast and
bacteria) to produce
ethanol; and (3)
processing the
fermentation product,
which yields fuel- grade
ethanol and by-products
(such as CO2).
As of August 31, 2007,
we have entered into one
LSTK contract to design,
engineer and build a 280
KLPD bio- ethanol plant
in the Czech Republic
for Newco Prague s.r.o.
The bio-ethanol
technology to be used in
the plant has been
sourced by us from a
leading European player
in the international
ethanol market, pursuant
to a project specific
arrangement. The
approximate value of the
contract is €69 million.
We have begun planning
and development
activities on this
project and expect to
commence construction of
the bio-ethanol plant in
December 2007 pending
receipt of requisite
government approvals and
finalization of client’s
financing.
