Mitr Phol set to focus on ethanol

Thailand’s Mitr Phol Sugar Group announced its commitment to the production and sale of ethanol as a clean and effective alternative to fossil fuels. Due to rapid expansion of the export market for ethanol as well as a government tax exemption, Mitr Phol has decided to maximize production at its Chaiyaphum facility. Mitr Phol operates a state-of-the-art ethanol production facility in Chaiyaphum and is completing a second facility in Kalasin, with 100% of the feedstock for these facilities coming from locally grown materials.
