The way companies use resources, manage by-products and reduce reliance on conventional energy sources is becoming an increasingly important part of industrial competitiveness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Across international markets, the circular economy and bioenergy are attracting growing attention. The grain-processing sector is particularly relevant to this transition: alongside its main products, industrial processes can generate secondary streams that may serve other economic sectors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Bioenergy: industrial efficiency and energy security<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The International Energy Agency (IEA) reports that policy support for biogas and biomethane has increased significantly in recent years. Energy security, emissions reduction and the more effective use of organic waste and residues are among the factors driving this interest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The trend reflects a wider shift in how energy systems are planned. As countries and businesses seek to diversify supply and make better use of locally available resources, bioenergy is increasingly considered as part of a broader energy mix. Its contribution depends on feedstock availability, project design, environmental performance and the infrastructure needed to use the energy produced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Circular production: creating more value from the same resources<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Another important trend is the move away from a linear model\u2014take, produce and discard\u2014towards systems in which by-products can become inputs for other processes, where technically and economically feasible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In ethanol production, this approach already has practical applications. Alongside ethanol, grain processing can generate co-products used in animal feed, as well as biogenic carbon dioxide that can be captured and used in selected industrial applications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>European industry data published by ePURE in September 2026 illustrate the scale of this integrated production model. Based on independently audited figures for 2025, European renewable ethanol producers reported 6.61 million tonnes of food and feed co-products, 5.32 million tonnes of renewable ethanol and 1.15 million tonnes of captured biogenic CO\u2082. These figures underline that the value of a biorefinery extends beyond its main product.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>What do these trends mean for Moldova\u2019s industrial sector?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>For the Republic of Moldova, the discussion around bioenergy is closely linked to its agricultural resources, existing industrial capacity and the opportunities to make better use of by-products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>ZERNOFF Ethanol operates at the intersection of agriculture and industry through grain processing and the production of ethanol, DDGS and CO\u2082. These activities illustrate how agricultural raw materials can support several value chains rather than a single end product.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The next phase of Europe\u2019s industrial transition will depend in part on how effectively companies integrate resources, technologies and energy solutions. For producers in the region, following these developments is essential to understanding where markets are heading and which opportunities may emerge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The circular economy is about more than reducing waste. It is about using resources more intelligently and assessing each production stream for opportunities to create additional value.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1>DE LA DE\u0218EURI LA ENERGIE: cum se transform\u0103 industria european\u0103 prin economia circular\u0103<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p>\u00cen industria modern\u0103, eficien\u021ba nu mai este m\u0103surat\u0103 doar prin volumul produc\u021biei.
