Study: German bioethanol saves up to 80% CO2 emissions – Federal Cabine forces over 25 per cent of biofuel manufactureers into bankruptcy
Berlin, 25 November 2008
German bioethanol manufactured from grain emits up to 80% less CO2 than fossil fuels. These are the findings of a study carried out by the Heidelberg IFEU Institute (Institute for Energy and Environmental Research) and commissioned by the biofuel manufacturer VERBIO Vereinigte BioEnergie AG. “We are very gratified by the positive results which have emerged from this investigation of our production plants. With the impetus provided by the enormous potential of our production techniques, VERBIO will be commissioning the world’s two largest biogas plants next year,” says Claus Sauter, VERBIO’s CEO. “The best part about it is that the raw material for the biogas production is a waste product of the ethanol production.“
