from Planet Ark and Reuters News Service ... Cargill of US to Build German Biodiesel Plant ------------------------------------------------------------- UK: October 10, 2005 LONDON - Cargill said on Friday it is to build a 25 million euro ($30 million) biodiesel plant near Mainz, Germany with the capacity to produce 200,000 tonnes of fuel per year. Construction on the plant in west-central Germany is expected to start during the current quarter with production commencing in August 2006, the US-based privately-owned agribusiness said. Cargill said the plant will turn vegetable oils into fatty acid methylesters, or biodiesel. The company has an oilseed crushing plant in Mainz. The European Commission is currently encouraging the production of biodiesel to help meet targets for reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Cargill announced earlier this year it would expand its oilseed crushing plants in Germany to allow it to maintain supplies for its food customers as well as meeting growing demand for biodiesel.
