Nothing is discarded. Everything returns to the value chain.
Cassava enters processing and leaves as ethanol, food products, fertilizer and energy: a process designed to valorize every stream rather than discard part of it.
- 01
Cassava sourcing
Cassava is sourced directly from Alcoford's farmer network, creating consistent demand at the farm gate.
- 02
Processing
Fermentation and distillation convert cassava starch into ethanol, the core transformation step.
- 03
Ethanol outputs
Bioethanol for clean cooking and select industrial use, and industrial ethanol for manufacturing, lab and cosmetic applications.
- 04
Food & feed by-products
Cassava flour and livestock feed are recovered from the same process, not a separate operation.
- 05
Organic fertilizer
Process residue is converted into organic fertilizer, returning nutrients to the soil.
- 06
Biogas & energy recovery
Biogas recovered from by-products is used internally as process energy, reducing external energy dependence.
- 07
Back to the farm
Fertilizer and market demand flow back to the farmer network, closing the loop.
