H1 2023: The significant players in the European ethanol market in H1 2023 were CropEnergies AG, Panonia Ethanol Bio Zrt., Alco Energy Group, and Vivergo Fuels. In June 2023, ArcelorMittal and LanzaTech announced the beginning of operations at carbon capture and utilisation (CCU) facility located in Ghent, Belgium. The investment is worth EUR 200 million and is a first of its kind in the European steel sector. Around half of Belgium's current demand for advanced ethanol, or 80 million litres, can be produced annually at the Steelanol plant. The EU's 2030 Climate Target Plan, which calls for a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions of 55% by the end of the decade, will be advanced by the expected reduction of 125 thousand tonnes of carbon emissions from the Ghent facility annually. Under the Carbalyst® brand, ArcelorMittal and LanzaTech will jointly market the ethanol. The inclined trend was followed by the market prices of ethanol in the first four months in Europe. The German suppliers received the ethanol consignment from the United States with reduced transit time due to ease of import. The European market saw a strong demand from the downstream biofuel sector. Production expenses increased due to the hike in energy prices. Demand for ethanol was strong both from the ethanol-blend biofuel and the food industry of Europe. In Europe, the market trend took a reverse gear and entered a pessimistic side in May 2023. A drop in demand from the downstream industries, such as the biofuel sector, was a result of a hike in inflation in Europe. In addition, the high inflation rate that persisted reduced demand from the downstream sector, such as the biofuel sector. Additionally, there was an open flow of inventories from the exporting nations, which resulted in excess inventory levels that were sufficient to supply downstream demand in Europe.
The Europe Ethanol market has reached nearby 7.8 million tonnes in 2022 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 4.45% during the forecast period until 2035.
Petrochemical and natural feedstocks can both be used to produce ethanol. Natural sugars are fermented by yeast during the natural process. Ethanol is used as a solvent to create a number of different chemicals, including ethyl esters, ethyl halides, acetic acid, diethyl ether, and ethyl amines. Ethanol is most typically used as a solvent in the chemical sector. It is utilised in the production of a wide range of products, including cosmetics, alcoholic beverages, medications, lacquers, polishes, paints, plastics, and plasticizers. Because of its antibacterial properties, ethanol is frequently employed in antiseptics, sanitizers, and treatments for fungal infections. The fuel and additive sectors are the main consumers of ethanol because of its flammability and clean-burning fuel properties.
When compared to fossil fuels, ethanol offers a significant reduction in greenhouse gas emissions. Policies that favour renewable energy sources, like the Renewable Energy Directive in the European Union, which establishes blending goals for transportation fuels. To encourage the production and use of ethanol, governments across Europe provide a variety of incentives and support systems. For ethanol producers and distributors, these can take the form of blending requirements, tax breaks, grants, and financial assistance. Such support methods encourage infrastructure investments in ethanol production, promote market expansion, and boost ethanol's competitiveness as a fuel source. The market for ethanol has a lot of potential given the ongoing shift towards renewable energy sources and the decarbonization of the transportation industry. As a low-carbon and renewable fuel, ethanol can assist in meeting carbon reduction goals and add to the mix of renewable energy sources. Market expansion is fueled by rising consumer demand for cleaner transportation fuels. Due to its usage as a solvent in the production of several chemicals, the demand for ethanol is anticipated to rise during the projected period. Ethanol market size is expected to reach around 13.2 million tonnes by the year 2035.
In the Europe region, the Ethanol market is divided into Germany, Italy, France, Belgium, United Kingdom (UK), Netherlands, Poland, Hungary, Spain, and Rest of Europe. The aviation industry is concentrating on the study and creation of ethanol-blend fuels to lower overall costs and cut carbon emissions. In the upcoming years, it is anticipated that recent ethanol uses in ignition systems and emission control in the transportation industry would lead to improved chances.
Based on end-use, the Europe Ethanol market is segmented into Fuel and Fuel additive, Food & Beverages, Chemicals, Cosmetics & Personal Care Products, and Others. Among these, Fuel and Fuel Additive industry is the biggest shareof Ethanol, holding a share of approximately 78% of the market share in 2022. Ethanol is also used in the food and beverage sector to make extracts, as well as a solvent for flavourings and colourants. For instance, vanilla extract, which is commonly used in desserts, cakes, and other baked items, frequently contains ethanol.
Significant companies in the Europe Ethanol market are CropEnergies AG, Nordzucker AG, Verbio AG, INEOS Group Ltd, Prokon Nord Energiesysteme Elbewerk GmbH, Kraul & Wilkening u. Stelling GmbH (KWST), IMA S.r.l. (Industria Meridionale Alcolici), Versalis S.p.A., Eni, Tereos Group (BENP), Vertex Bioenergy, Cristal Union Group, and Alco Energy Group.
