Key advantages for the production of top-grade bio-ethanol, and a range of co-products, such as protein-rich feed DDGS, electricity and CO2 (distributed to the greenhouses in the Westland):

• Located in the Rotterdam Harbour, one of the largest ports in the world with proximity to ethanol markets in North West Europe and a locally very competitive area due to the high density of (petro)chemical industry.
• Located in the main logistics hub in Europe for cereals, chemicals, fuels etc.
• High logistics flexibility. Corn can be delivered by train, vessels and trucks. The facility has a dedicated jetty where simultaneously corn can be sicharged and DDGS can be loaded in sea-going vessels.

• Alco Energy Rotterdam production unit incorporates the latest state of the art technologies for the use of energy and reduction of environmental impact.
