New partnership will develop low-carbon ethanol ecosystem in France

This article was originally posted on Chemical Engineering Online.
Summary
VIVESCIA, Roquette, and Siplec E.Leclerc have signed a three-year partnership to build a low-carbon ethanol ecosystem in France, supporting production from French feedstocks and integrating agriculture, bioprocessing, and distribution to reduce the carbon footprint of fuels.

What do you think will be the biggest hurdle to scaling low‑carbon ethanol in France: sustainable feedstock supply, processing costs/technology, or market and policy incentives?

VIVESCIA (a leading French grain cooperative group), Roquette (a global leader in plant-based ingredients and pharmaceutical excipients serving the food, nutrition, pharmaceutical and bio-industry markets) and Siplec E.Leclerc (the cooperative of the E.Leclerc Movement responsible for energy products and services) have signed a three-year partnership to support the production of low-carbon ethanol sourced from French […]

The carbon math will be won or lost on process heat and offgas. Are you electrifying cook and distillation with MVR or heat pumps and capturing the fermentation CO2, or staying on gas? Also, how are you mitigating DDGS dryer fouling and seasonal grain moisture swings, because a week of downtime will blow the CI; just interlock the dryer bypass and tighten CIP.
