Ethanol production and its co-products in Europe

Carbon dioxide is the most discussed topic in Europe where the environment and global warming is concerned. Bioethanol appears to be the answer in controlling carbon dioxide emissions and producing “environmentally neutral” energy. In the US, maize is the basis for this. In Europe, however, other grains (mainly wheat) are used for biofuel production. In August, Adisseo, in cooperation with Ajinomoto Eurolysine, organised a mini-symposium on the subject in Strasbourg, France.
