Central Government has declared that no separate environment clearance is required to produce additional ethanol from 'B' heavy molasses. Environment, Forest and Climate Change, Minister Prakash Javadekar announced this in a tweet today. He said this is a major decision for the benefit of farmers and the sugar industry. <br />''<br />''Environment Ministry said, with various incentives provided by the Government, sugar mills are expected to undertake the production of ethanol from B-heavy Molasses and other by-products. This will be resulting in an incidental increase in the production of ethanol without any increase in the total pollution load in the existing distilleries or sugar mills to which environmental clearance have already been granted.<br />''<br />
