The Tereos Group of France is the third largest alcohol/ethanol producer in the world. Its 17,000 employees in the Group’s 32 large and modern industrial facilities in Europe, Africa, and South America process the sugar beets, sugar cane, and cereals out of more than 900,000 ha of land into sugars, various starches, and alcohols, such as ethanol. Along with 4.3 million tons of sugar, more than 1.3 million m3 of alcohol/ethanol are produced every year, as well as co-products for animal feeds. We spoke with Antoine Pradel, Managing Director of Tereos’ Lillebonne plant, about the production of bioethanol and the utilization of Andritz technology.
