2. About Crop Energies:
Founded in Mannheim, Germany, in 2006, the member of the Südzucker Group is the
leading European manufacturer of sustainably produced bioethanol today.
With its production capacities of 1.3 million cubic meters of bioethanol per year,
CropEnergies produces bioethanol which predominantly replaces petrol in modern
production facilities in Germany, Belgium, the UK, and France.
The highly efficient production facilities reduce CO2 emissions by approximately 70
percent on average across the whole value-added chain compared to fossil fuel.
In addition to fuel alcohol, CropEnergies also produces 150,000 cubic meters of high-
purity neutral alcohol which is used in the beverage, cosmetics, and pharmaceutical
industry or for technical applications.
At the same time, CropEnergies is an important producer of food and animal feed
products.
The raw materials which are used such as cereals and sugar beets are completely utilized.
As a result, more than 1 million tonnes of high-quality protein food and animal feed
products are manufactured every year out of the non-fermentable components of the raw
materials.
3. Mission & Vision:
Aptly suggested by previous slide, the company’s mission and vision is to transform
Mobility into Sustainable and Renewable .
Through advanced technology and innovation CropEnergies contributes to ensure a
sustainable mobility from renewable sources today and in the future through its main
product bioethanol.
Benefits of European bioethanol:
The bio refineries of CropEnergies produce bioethanol, food and animal feed, they boost
the economy and reduce greenhouse gas emissions in the transport sector.
4. Sustainability Strategy:
Resource-saving use with regard to the selection of raw materials.
Full utilisation of raw materials used through processing of all components into
high quality products.
Continuous improvement of production technologies in respect of their
environmental impact and energy efficiency.
Efficient quality, environment and energy management.
Respecting the interest of all stakeholders material to CropEnergies.
Long term partnerships, eg- with raw material suppliers and customers.
5. Stakeholders:
They include customers, suppliers, employees, shareholders and financial
institutions, as well as society and the general public.
CropEnergies engages in dialogues with the stakeholders.
Main Areas Of Activity:
Procurement of agricultural raw materials.
Environmental and energy aspects in production.
Product responsibility, quality and safety.
Social responsibility.
Working conditions and human rights.
6. Stimulating Europe’s economy:
From 2000 to 2014, 5.2 million full-time jobs disappeared in EU agriculture.
The European bioethanol industry creates 50,000 direct and indirect jobs,
especially in rural areasStimulating Europe’s economy From 2000 to 2014, 5.2

7. Stopping Climate Change:
Stopping climate change Road transport is responsible for 20% of Europe’s
greenhouse gas emissions.
In the last 5 years, bioethanol prevented more than 30 million tons of greenhouse
gas emissions. That is equivalent to the annual emissions of more than 10 million
cars.
If every car in Europe drove with E10, greenhouse gas emissions could be reduced
by 15 million tons each year, which is the equivalent of taking more than 5 million
cars off Europe’s roads.
The biofuels industry meets the highest sustainability criteria: from field to tank,
certified sustainable
8. Improving Europe’s fuel security
Europe imports 90% of the oil it needs.
Since 2003, EU ethanol production from domestic raw materials has displaced
more than 200 million barrels of oil and saves the EU annual imports worth EUR 1
billion.
European ethanol reduces greenhouse gases by 70% compared to fuel.
If all petrol cars ran on E10, we could save 40 million barrels of oil
9. Reinforcing animal feed security
Europe has to import approx. 70% of the protein feed it needs .
The European bioethanol industry produces 5 million tons of animal feed every
year and replaces 3 million tons of soy imports.
For each ton of bioethanol, 1 ton of GMO-free, high protein animal feed is
produced.
European bioethanol production uses only approx. 1% of EU agricultural land and
approx. 4% of the grain grown in the EU
10. 1- The next-generation bioethanol plant in Wanze, Belgium, is the most modern plant in Europe.
2- Because of the innovative biomass boiler, bioethanol produced at BioWanze saves up to 70%
of the CO2-emissions compared to fossil fuels.
