"An East Yorkshire biofuel plant has told Yorkshire and Lincolnshire
farmers that its use of locally-produced wheat will boost their
businesses.


The area is one of the country's biggest producers of wheat, currently
used for animal feed.


Vivergo at Saltend, near Hull, said it aimed to use 1.1m tonnes of
wheat per year to make renewable fuel.


Excellent news .. thanks for posting it. *


Glad to be of service - I helped in the R+D for that plant, but the
BIG money spinner will be a maize to biobutanol plant.
Ethanol can only be used in small doses in conventional engines, but
butanol can be used neat.
We are still working on it, but they want some fuel to power some of
the Olympic fleet.
No pressure then.
