Cristal Union produces bioethanol from beet residues, wheat, and by‑products from sugar factories, distilleries and the wine industry at its dislleries in Bazancourt and Arcis‑sur‑Aube, as well as at the Goyard distillery in Aÿ and at Dislaub in Buchères.
The bioethanol is then used in the production of Superethanol E85 (85% ethanol) and Unleaded 95‑E10 (10% ethanol).
In addition to these productions, Cristalco also markets bioethanol made from corn and sugarcane. The carbon footprint of these biofuels is 60% to 95% lower than that of fossil fuels. The Group thus actively contributes to the European policy of producing renewable and sustainable energy for a low‑carbon mobility future.
