Is one of the largest distributor of all kinds of ethanol (Fuel ethanol, Potable alcohol and industrial ethanol), around the world.

 

Fuel Ethanol is a high octane, fuel additive. It is blended with conventional gasoline as a renewable substitute to other harmful chemical octane enhancers. Ethanol boosts the oxygen content of gasoline, resulting in cleaner fuel combustion and fewer emissions.Ethanol is blended with gasoline at levels ranging between 10% to 25%. Ethanol blends account for about 10 percent of all gasoline consumed in the U.S.

  Ethanol and the Environment- AlcoEurope Contributing to the Environment.  
 

"Green" ethanol blends are government approved:  Ethanol blends are used safely in any vehicle, without the expensive engine modifications needed by natural gas, methanol, etc.

 

CO2 Reduction: Although carbon dioxide is released when ethanol burns, it is recycled into organic tissue during plant growth. In fact, ethanol use in gasoline may even result in a net reduction in atmospheric carbon dioxide levels.

 

Reduction in Ozone Emissions: the use of ethanol causes a 25% to 30% reduction in emissions of carbon monoxide (CO) with a 10% ethanol blend.

  Renewable Resources: Ethanol is derived from renewable biological feedstocks such as agricultural crops, like : sugar cane, cassava, corn, potatoes, sweet potatoes, dates, etc; as well as from molasses and many others crops with high sugars and starch contains.
  Alcohol Europe contribute to reduce undesirable gas emissions trading Alcohols from natural sources as it is mentioned above.
 

There is no waste in ethanol manufacturing. All of the feedstock used to produce ethanol for fuel and industrial alcohols, distillers starchs and sugars for Livestock feed, carbon dioxide, which is collected and sold to carbonate beverage manufacturer's and as a freezing agent in the food industry.

 

Ethanol cuts the emissions of unburned hydrocarbons and carbon monoxide. There is a net reduction in harmful ozone forming emissions, and greenhouse gases are with the use of ethanol blended gasoline since growing corn removes carbon dioxide from the air.

  Ethanol use is approved by all vehicle manufacturers and is used across the world.
 

Producing ethanol increases the supply of high protein animal feed ingredients through the distillation process; this creates new agricultural business opportunities centered on the plant, and helps offset imports of soybean meal and other animal feeds

 

 

 

Fuel ethanol benefits the economy as well as the environment. Production of fuel ethanol  around the world has produced a new market for agricultural products, improving financial stability and security for farmers, in addition to direct and indirect employment opportunities from farming to transportation and manufacturing.

 

The overall demand for alcohol globally is estimated at 35 billion litres a year. Many industries are increasing their use of alcohol. USA, Brazil and now Asia & Europe are the world leaders in the use of fuel ethanol; nearly half of its cars are operating on pure ethanol.

 

In response to the oil crisis of the mid 1970's the Brazilian government in cooperation with private industry, created a national program to produce alcohol from sugar cane and to build ethanol compatible engines. Now, many countries are developing new plants all around the world, in countries such as Latin America, Caribbean Basin, Asia.

  AlcoEurope is ready trading all these produced ethanol.
 

The United States ethanol industry continues to set ethanol production records and this past April set another production record surpassing 180,000 barrels per day - an increase of 16% over last year - and trends indicate a record year of production totalling over 8 billion litres.

 

Today, many countries around the world are testing oxygenated and (near 100%) alcohol fuels. In the U.S. ethanol blends make up about 12% of the total gasoline market. In some parts of the U.S., Latin America, Asia and Europe, projects are underway to test the viability of replacing diesel fuel with ethanol.
