CHAMTOR does not produce biofuel, but a fermentation substrate (liquid wheat). This product is
then sold to Cristanol, which used it to produce 257,000 hl of bioethanol in 2011. This quantity is
included in Cristanol’s overall production

It should be noted that with the arrival of second-generation biofuel, production would be
mainly based on agricultural by-products and/or forestry resources. It would thus be possible to
produce biofuel without monopolising fertile land that is essential for the cultivation of cereal for
human foodstuffs.
