Tereos is a French agri‑industrial cooperative that processes sugar beet, sugarcane, and cereals into sugars, starches, sweeteners, and plant‑based alcohols. The company supplies ingredients and intermediates to food and beverage, animal nutrition, pharmaceutical, and industrial markets, operating biorefineries primarily in Europe with an international footprint.
Its portfolio includes crystal sugar, glucose syrups, dextrose and maltodextrins, starches for food and technical uses, potable and industrial ethanol (including biofuel grades), and co‑products such as proteins and animal feed. Tereos leverages fermentation and biorefining technologies to convert agricultural feedstocks into value‑added products and is active in the development of bio‑based chemicals and materials derived from renewable resources.
The group emphasizes efficient use of biomass and circular practices, valorizing co‑streams from processing. Through collaborations and technology partnerships, Tereos pursues pathways to reduce fossil‑based inputs in packaging and industrial applications while supporting customers’ sustainability and performance requirements.
chemXplore tracks 3 projects involving Tereos.
Tereos's role on them: Owner, Investor / Financier, Operator, and Developer.
JV to develop a 160,000 t/y Alcohol‑to‑Jet SAF plant at Port of Dunkirk; partners will fund development, run pre‑FEED/FEED and seek FID after permitting, feedstock and offtake agreements.
Peer-reviewed LCA with industrial data shows plant-based PEF can cut resin GHG emissions up to 71%, enables lighter packaging, improves recyclability, and complements recycling vs PET.
The alliance aims to industrialize PEF production in Europe, leveraging plant-based feedstocks and proprietary technology to replace fossil-based plastics.
A €6M fermentation unit will enable industrial-scale ethanol production after a year of testing, converting 820,000 tonnes of wheat into 300,000 cubic meters of ethanol and 300,000 tons of DDGS annually.
