Sustainable, climate-friendly – and a powerful petrol substitute
All the CO2 released during ethanol combustion was previously absorbed by the plants during their growth. With ethanol replacing fossil fuels, more fossil carbon which is responsible for climate change can stay in the ground. The dependence on oil-producing countries is reduced.
Our ethanol is produced exclusively from local, British or European biomass. We avoid long transport routes and create jobs and added value in rural areas.
The raw materials used must not come from areas with high carbon stocks or high biodiversity.
Independent experts check the origin of the raw materials and their processing as well as the calculations of greenhouse gas savings at regular intervals in accordance with a state-approved certification system.
A special feature of ethanol production is the use of all resources. During production, only the starch or sugar content is required for the ethanol. The remaining components of the initial resources are processed into protein feed, liquefied CO2, gluten or other products.
In addition, during ethanol production, one tonne of GMO-free protein feed is produced for every cubic metre of ethanol produced, thus reducing the need for imports of protein animal feed.
Our quality assurance with modern process control technology and our own analysis laboratories starts with the raw materials used and only ends with the tank or tank trucks that are only used for ethanol.
