With high purity levels from 96% to 99.9%, our ethanol fits the needs of varied industries globally.

Production & Sustainability

Ethanol is mainly produced using two processes: fermentation and synthetic routes. Fermentation is the traditional method where natural sugars from crops like sugarcane, corn, wheat, and sugar beet are converted by yeast into ethanol. This route is popular for producing bioethanol, which is renewable and can be carbon-neutral when managed sustainably.

Synthetic ethanol, on the other hand, is made chemically from petrochemical feedstocks like ethylene. While this method can produce ethanol faster, it’s less eco-friendly compared to bio-based alternatives.

At Gotrays, we prioritize sustainability by offering bio-based ethanol made from renewable raw materials. Our ethanol supports cleaner production and helps reduce the carbon footprint, making it a smart choice for customers seeking green solutions globally.
