Welcome to CropEnergies

The “crop” in CropEnergies stands for “creative regeneration of power”. And our name signifies our mission: producing renewable energy – bioethanol - from renewable raw materials. This natural fuel for motor vehicles is our principal product. At our plants we reduce CO2 emissions by up to 70% compared to fossil fuels. Today, bioethanol is already the world’s most widely used biofuel, and it will continue to grow in importance. With production facilities in Germany, Belgium and France, CropEnergies is one of the largest producers of bioethanol in Europe and leads the field in terms of technology and innovation power.
