A food, feed and fuel manifesto
ePURE's David Carpintero writes in Ethanol Producer Magazine: "The EU is entering a new political era, with European voters electing a new Parliament and Member States sending new commissioners to Brussels. However, some of the key challenges facing the Union—fighting climate change, ensuring energy independence and boosting food security—remain as daunting as ever.
"In the coming months and years, the European renewable ethanol industry will be working alongside stakeholders in the biofuels, food and feed value chains to help build awareness of the strategic importance of renewable ethanol production in addressing these challenges.
"Crucial to this effort will be raising awareness in Europe, and globally, about the benefits of EU ethanol biorefineries, including reducing CO2 emissions in transport, supporting European farmers, boosting food security and lessening Europe’s dependence on imported oil."
