Filed under: Ethanol<\/a><\/p>\n On Friday, the UK Secretary of State for the Environment, David Miliband, peeked in at the start of construction of a new £250 million bioethanol production plant to be run by Ensus in Teesside. The plant will open in 2009, and the Northern Echo reports<\/a> that the plant will turn 1.2 million tons of wheat into 400 million liters of ethanol a year. Ensus says that’s about a third of the UK’s demand by 2010. Miliband rode in a Saab 9-5 BioPower to and from the event.<\/p>\n Nearby, the Biofuels Corporation of Teesside also makes biodiesel, sometimes for politicians<\/a>. There’s another picture after the break, because why not. <\/p>\n [Source: Saab UK, The Northern Echo] <\/p>\n Read<\/a> | Permalink<\/a> | Email this<\/a> | Linking Blogs<\/a> | Comments<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
