“iEthanol is the European association dedicated to non-fuel use of ethanol, a field of activities crucial to Europe’s industrial and pharmaceutical self-sufficiency, where there are many crucial issues in terms of classification, trade protection, human exposure or tax implications. iEthanol members are representing over 60% of the non fuel ethanol industry and mostly composed of European SME’s, adding crucial added value to local and regional communities in terms of employment, investment and long term vision.”
