CropEnergies: Certification confirms sustainable bioethanol production
Mannheim, 26 October 2010 - Bioethanol produced at the plants of
CropEnergies AG, Mannheim, in Zeitz (Saxony-Anhalt) and Wanze (Belgium)
conforms to all the requirements of the German Biofuel Sustainability
Regulation. Both plants and the company's tank storage facilities in
Rotterdam and Duisburg were certified in October 2010. CropEnergies can
therefore prove that bioethanol is produced sustainably at the plants.
Consequently, CropEnergies will continue to serve as a reliable partner for
the mineral oil industry, which will be required to meet its blending quota
obligations in Germany with certified bioethanol as from 1 January 2011.
The CropEnergies bioethanol plants were certified by DQS GmbH Deutsche
Gesellschaft zur Zertifizierung von Managementsystemen, Frankfurt/Main, an
independent evaluator, according to the REDcert certification system.
REDcert was developed by leading German agriculture and biofuel industry
associations and organisations, and received final approval from the
Federal Agency for Agriculture and Food (Bundesanstalt für Landwirtschaft
und Ernährung - BLE) in July 2010. Certification according to REDcert
satisfies the requirements of the German Biofuel Sustainability Regulation,
passed in November 2009, which links the promotion of fuels from biomass to
compliance with specific sustainability criteria as from 1 January 2011.
Creating value through sustainability is the business model pursued by
CropEnergies. This includes the co-product concept which aims to completely
utilize raw materials. With the successful certification, CropEnergies is
demonstrating that, with its modern and efficient plants, the company can
align economics with ecology. This strengthens CropEnergies' position as a
pioneer in the European bioethanol market.
