In Belgium, European renewable ethanol association (ePURE) members produced more feed than fuel in 2021, according to certified data released today by the industry group. ePURE members – representing 85% of EU installed capacity – produced 4.48 million tonnes of animal feed co-products and 4.40 million tonnes of renewable ethanol last year, according to the […]
In Belgium, production and use of renewable ethanol from ePURE members reduced greenhouse-gas emissions by an average of 76.9% compared to fossil fuels in 2021, according to newly certified data. It was the tenth consecutive year in which EU renewable ethanol increased its GHG-reduction score. The record-breaking figure comes at a crucial moment for EU […]
In Belgium, European renewable ethanol association (ePURE) members produced 5.57 billion liters of ethanol and 6.16 million metric tons of co-products in 2020, according to audited data released today by the industry group. The figures showed a significant increase in production of ethanol for industrial use, including for hand sanitizers and disinfectants. The new statistics […]
In Belgium, the European Commission’s new Fit for 55 package sets important new goals for emissions reduction and creates a solid foundation for reaching them by giving a role to renewable liquid fuels in decarbonizing transport. Unleashing the true potential of crop-based ethanol and creating a policy environment that can spark investment in advanced ethanol […]
In Belgium, production and use of renewable ethanol from ePURE members reduced greenhouse-gas emissions by an average of more than 75% compared to fossil fuels in 2020, according to newly certified data. It was the ninth consecutive year in which EU renewable ethanol increased its GHG-reduction score. The record-breaking figure strengthens the already-convincing case for […]
In Belgium, Advanced Biofuels Coalition, Copa-Cogeca, eFuel Alliance, ePURE – European renewable ethanol, EBB-European Biodiesel Board, EWABA, Fediol, FuelsEurope, Nordic Blue Crude AS, and UPEI have joined forces to form the Renewable & Low-Carbon Liquid Fuel Platform. These partners are working together to contribute to the decarbonization of the mobility sector in a sustainable and […]
In Belgium, ePure says the European Commission’s political agreement on a Delegated Regulation seeking to define sustainable investments in the EU sends unfortunately mixed signals about the importance of sustainable biofuels such as renewable EU ethanol to climate-change mitigation. The text and annexes agreed by the Commission Wednesday at least recognize that the manufacture of […]
In Belgium, a new report from the European Commission underlines the importance and sustainability of renewable ethanol, but also reveals yet again the Commission’s strangely contradictory stance wanting to minimize the role of biofuels in achieving the EU Green Deal. Published on 14 October, the Commission’s Renewable Energy Progress Report includes an assessment of progress […]
In Belgium, E10info.eu, a new online resource for consumer information about the widely available E10 fuel blend, launched today as part of a broader effort to highlight the importance of renewable ethanol to EU climate goals. Use of E10, which contains up to 10% renewable ethanol by volume, significantly reduces emissions from petrol cars and […]
In Belgium, European renewable ethanol association (ePURE) members produced 5.6 billion liters of ethanol and 5.33 million metric tons of co-products in 2019, according to new audited data. The new figures confirm the importance of European renewable ethanol biorefineries to achieving EU Green Deal objectives for reducing emissions and sustainable domestic production of animal feed.
