GF Energy Company aims to develop renewable energy sources that benefit the environment. In 2006, they built the largest biodiesel production plant in Greece. They have innovative technology, strategic partnerships for low-cost feedstock, and can use a variety of raw materials. Biodiesel is made from oils and fats and can be incorporated into existing fuel infrastructure. Glycerin and acid oils are byproducts that have various industrial uses. The company supports cultivating energy crops in Greece to solve energy problems while boosting agriculture.

2. GF Energy
They drive their business having
one mission in mind:
to change the world by
developing a renewable source
of energy that serves the
environment stability.
They invest in providing
consumers superior fuel
products.

3. GF Energy
This ambitious goal came to reality in 2006 and grew
bigger in 2008, with the construction of the biggest
biodiesel production plant in Greece.

4. Competitive advantages of
GF Energy
•Innovative technology application
•Competitive logistics and strategically selected base
•Access to low priced feedstock through strategic
partnerships and suppliers

5. PRODUCTS
Biodiesel uses renewable raw materials from oil bearing
seeds like rapeseed, soya, palm, sunflower, and
cottonseed.
Biodiesel
However, biodiesel is also manufactured from low-grade,
waste materials such as used cooking oils and animal
fats.

6. An important advantage is that biodiesel can be
incorporated by a fuel consumer without any problem
in the existing distribution infrastructure (tanks,
pipelines, pumps and other plants).

7. Europe is the biggest biodiesel market worldwide, where
more than eight billion liters are consumed annually.

8. Glycerin is the most important by-product of
the transesterification process of the biodiesel produced.
Traditional implementation of glycerol as feedstock or as
an auxiliary material, it was as a food, tobacco, and drugs
additive as well as in the composition of tri-nitroglycerin
and polyurethane resins.
Glycerin

9. Acid Oils
The Acid oils or Fatty Acids or Oleins are a byproduct of the
process of glycerol and have a wide range of technical uses.

10. Raw Material
They use only what nature gives us and what it does not need.
They have the ability to use a large range of feedstock ,and that
puts us in the front line of being a part of the solution for
disposal problems, generating biofuels from materials formerly
discarded uncontrollably in the seas and in landfills, being one of
the biggest factors that aggravate our environment.

11. Agriculture supplies and uses energy, and
we, respecting this cycle of nature, become one more
link in its chain.
The rapidly increasing demand for liquid biofuels is
connecting agriculture and energy more closely than
ever.

12. Investing in greek land
In Greece there is considerable potential for energy crops can be used for liquid
biofuel production since climatic conditions especially conducive to energy crops
cultivation, such as sunflower and rapeseed for biodiesel , and barley, wheat and
corn for bioethanol.

13. Solving the energy problem
Support and promote the cultivation of energy crops for
biofuel production is an essential solution for both
environmental protection and sources of global energy, but
also for agriculture support.

14. Multiple Benefits
Considering the multiple benefits of energy utilization and characteristics of Greek
agricultural sector, such crops represent a solution for both fuel production and
increasing of competitiveness of rural area, reversing the declining agricultural
economy, strengthening employment and environmental protection.
