European renewable ethanol – key figures 2018
In 2018, ePURE members produced 5.81 billion litres of ethanol, 82% of which was for fuel use, with an average of 71% GHG savings compared to petrol and co-producing 5.55 million tonnes of co-products, of which 4.20 million tonnes was high-protein, GMO free animal feed. 99% of the crops used were grown by European farmers.
Renewable ethanol production by end-use
In 2018, ePURE members produced 5.81 billion litres of ethanol, operating at 89% of their 6.51 billion litres of installed capacity. Fuel accounted for 82% of the use; other markets, such as beverages and industrial applications, each represented 9%.

Share of European renewable ethanol produced from each feedstock type
In 2018, 43% of the ethanol produced was from corn, followed by wheat (26%) and sugar (21%).
Main output of European renewable ethanol plants
Animal feed makes up the largest share of renewable ethanol co-products produced by ePURE members. Of the 5.55 million tonnes of co-products produced in 2018, 4.20 million tonnes was animal feed.

Imports of ethanol into the EU
EU ethanol imports reached 618 million litres in 2018. Imports from countries with duty free access to the EU market accounted for 55.7% of the imports, while imports from countries without preferential access accounted for 39.5%.
