Bio-Ethanol
Bio-ethanol is also called ethyl alcohol. Sometimes simply described as “alcohol” or “ethanol”.
Ethanol has many applications. It is an important and often indispensable building block in various sectors such as chemistry, pharmaceutical, cosmetics and those of alcoholic beverages.
Our bio-ethanol is mainly used to mix with petrol. This makes the fuel more environmentally friendly. In fact, bio-ethanol reduces CO2 emissions from fuel. At the filling station, the label at the pump and the petrol nozzle show how much ethanol can be contained in the petrol: up to 5% per volume also known as E5 or up to 10% per volume better known as E10. In the Netherlands most of the petrol offered is E10 better known as 95E10.
AER produces around 650 million litres of ethanol annually.
