In Ghent, Alco Bio Fuel unfolds its plans to play a meaningful role in the economy of the 21st century. Specifically, in the field of biofuel development, their work takes place in the Ghent harbour and with that, to a great extent, they also support our economy as well as the environment.

Alco Bio Fuel is going for 75% of the Belgian quota. The management board gave the green light for the construction allowing for a production capacity of 300.000m³ of ethanol in Ghent.

The federal government recently increased the quota from 190.000m³ to 250.000m³. The total investment amounts to 120 million euros.

The so-called AlcoBioFuel factory will be able to produce 150.000 cubic metres of bio-ethanol in the first phase. Grain needed for this is 400.000 tons. Later on, a second line can be built with an equal capacity.
