 Biodiesel is often produced from rapeseed |
A biodiesel fuel firm has announced plans to build a new �10m plant alongside the River Humber. UK company Greenergy has applied for planning permission to set up the new site in the port of Immingham.
The firm is responsible for selling green fuel GlobalDiesel, a blend of low sulphur diesel and rapeseed oil.
A spokesman said the company was aiming to start building work this year with a view to starting operations in the Spring of 2006.
The news will come as a boost to the area which has been hit by severe job losses over the last few months.
About 1,000 jobs have been lost in the district during 2004, 600 of them at the Birds Eye plant at Grimsby.
The plant will be capable of processing a variety of vegetable oils, including waste oils left over from cooking.
