Certified average greenhouse gas emission savings of renewable European ethanol compared to fossil fuel
Weighted average of the GHG emissions from the production and use of fuel ethanol have reached 28.3 gCO2eq/MJ in 2016, equivalent to 66% average certified GHG emission savings against the current fossil fuel comparator, and 70% GHG emission savings against the proposed fossil fuel comparator for the RED post-2020.Source: Aggregated and audited data of ePURE members
Since 2011 the average certified greenhouse gas emission savings of renewable ethanol against fossil fuel have increased continuously, reaching 66% in 2016.Source: Aggregated and audited data of ePURE members, compared to a fossil fuel comparator of 83.8 gCO2eq/MJ

European renewable ethanol — key figures 2016
In 2016, ePURE members produced 5.2 billion litres of ethanol, 78% of which was for fuel use, with an average of 66% GHG savings compared to petrol and co-producing 5.5 million tonnes of co-products, of which 4 million tonnes was high-protein, GMO free animal feed. 99.9% of the crops used were grown by European farmers.
Animal feed makes up the largest share of renewable ethanol co-products produced by ePURE members. Of the 5.5 million tonnes of co-products produced in 2016, 4 million tonnes were animal feed.Source: Aggregated and audited data of ePURE members (ethanol - pure alcohol; animal feed co-products - dry matter equivalent; other co-products - commercial equivalent)

Share of European renewable ethanol produced from each feedstock type
In 2016, 32% of the ethanol produced was from wheat, followed by corn (31%) and sugar (24%).Source: Aggregated and audited data of ePURE members (pure alcohol)

EU ethanol imports in 2016 remained roughly at the same level as in 2015. However, countries with duty free access to the EU market further increased their overall share from 62% in 2015 to 74% in 2016Source: Eurostat, USITC, SECEX, ePURE estimates
