Welcome to Our New Member Alcogroup!
With headquarters in Belgium and operations on several continents, Alcogroup is one of Europe’s biggest producers and distributors of ethanol for fuel and high-purity alcohol. Our new member focuses on fuel- and food-grade ethanol through a network of subsidiaries and joint ventures to create more sustainable fuels and alcohol products. Globally, Alco provides ethanol to various industries: cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, biochemistry, food, and beverage. They aim to contribute to reducing carbon emissions through their renewable energy solutions and the Carbon Capture and Utilisation (CCU) of its biogenic CO₂.
Alco has two major production units and knowledge centres in Rotterdam, Netherlands, and Ghent, Belgium, which capture the biogenic CO₂ produced onsite. The Alco Energy Rotterdam B.V. plant is one of the largest of its kind in Europe and the Alco Bio Fuel NV plant in Ghent was the first plant to receive the ISCC – International Sustainability and Carbon Certification. These biorefineries process sustainably grown and non-genetically processed corn of European origin into bioethanol, protein-rich animal feed, green CO₂, and corn oil.
