Our story

Our Activity

Strategically located in the Port of Ghent, our biorefinery processes all our raw material, (mainly corn) in added value products. The sugars from the grain are eventually converted into liquid energy: alcohol. The protein in the grain is maximally preserved, and supplemented with valuable yeast proteins to become a nutricious rich animal feed.

Our Products

Ethanol for fuel and industry, green CO2, enriched protein, corn oil, electricity and wet corn during the season… Mainly based on corn, our high quality products are daily used by many consumers all around the world. Providing agile production solutions, Alco Bio Fuel contributes to a more sustainable way of living.

Sustainable living

Environmental footprint is strictly linked to what occupies us every day. For 30 years, we kept exploring, developing and applying new methods and knowledge in our sector. This pioneering spirit is part of our identity and will drive us for at least another 30 years.
