Building the transition
Alco Energy Rotterdam is the largest biorefinery in Europe. The result of a unique collaboration between Alcogroup and Vanden Avenne Commodities. In the Port of Rotterdam we are producing since 2010 ethanol for fuel, animal feed, green CO2 and electricity. We play a pioneering role in reducing greenhouse gases. Our ambition is to be climate neutral by 2030.
