📢 Ethanol is key to speeding up Europe's low-carbon transition.
With EVs still out of reach for many people, #ethanol reduces 79% of GHG emissions, making it a cleaner alternative to fossil fuels. Read how biorefineries can help:
🌍 The food & beverage industry uses 11M tonnes of CO₂ annually (@EBA, 2022).
From packaging to drinks, CO₂ is used by several industries — but biorefineries already offer a fossil-free solution. Learn what #BiogenicCO2 is, and why it's crucial for the EU:
