North-East based biodiesel company D1 Oils this morning announced a boost to its renewable fuel programme in India.
D1 Oils plc, based in Stockton, Teesside, said it had secured funding with the State Bank of India to provide £15m to farmers in India with seeds to grow up to 40,000 hectares of jatropha plants.
The plants will yield between 100,000 and 120,000 tonnes of crude vegetable oil each year, which will then be used to produce biodiesel. For full story see The Northern Echo tomorrow.
