Figure 2. Damage assessment of sugar beet`s bioethanol in Belgium.
Figure 3. Flowchart of sugar beet`s bioethanol production in France.
Ethanol production from sugar beet is affecting health and acidification/eutrophication,
mostly due to feedstock production and fossil fuels use (Figure 4).
In UK, the process of ethanol production from sugar beet is the most abundant by sugar
beet production, especially due to nitrogen fertilizer. Figure 5 is showing that large amount of
fossil fuels are used for fertilizers production.
