ePURE supports and represents its members,
and the European renewable ethanol industry as a whole, by:
Providing a platform for sharing knowledge and insight on evolving industry developments
Working towards the improvement of the international economic and legal environment in which the industry operates
Providing accurate and timely information to members, policymakers, the media and the general public
Speaking authoritatively for the renewable ethanol industry at key international events
Engaging in a range of communication activities and organising the annual European renewable ethanol policy conference
“ePURE commits itself to producing renewable ethanol according to stringent EU sustainability criteria to help decarbonise the transport sector; diversify energy supply; create job and investment opportunities for the European rural economy and stimulate technological innovation. The European ethanol sector is developing rapidly, and needs a clear and stable policy environment for continued investment into research and the deployment of new technologies throughout the ethanol value chain.”
