Structure

ePURE aims at fostering interaction among top industry leaders in order to help shape the future of the renewable ethanol industry.

Led by senior industry executives, the ePURE Board of Directors sets priorities, budgets and fees to support a diversity of ePURE activities. 10 Members of the Board serve on the Executive Committee, the body that provides advice and guidance to the Board. The Board is also assisted by various working groups and task forces, which consist of technical experts from member companies.

The ePURE Secretariat – based in the political heart of Brussels – coordinates the work and advises the Board and the working groups. Once a year, the General Assembly brings together all members to decide on the annual budget and composition of the Executive Committee.
