ePURE study shows EU ethanol producers reduced GH emissions by nearly 82%

June 8, 2026 |

In Belgium, production and use of renewable ethanol from ePURE members and other EU producers reduced greenhouse-gas emissions by an average of nearly 82% compared to fossil fuels in 2025, according to newly certified data.

This record-high sustainability score for renewable ethanol represents a 16-year trend of European renewable ethanol approaching carbon-neutrality. It also confirms the importance of ethanol as a replacement for fossil fuel in the petrol and hybrid cars that Europeans continue to prefer.
The high GHG saving performance of EU ethanol was accompanied by significant production of food and feed co-products (6.6 million metric tons of commercial product) and of captured biogenic CO2 (1.2 million tons) – more ways in which ethanol production contributes to EU food security and offsets fossil resources.
