BDI-BioEnergy International has been commissioned by a company in Southeast Europe to build a 100,000 ton per year (30 MMgy) multifeedstock biodiesel plant. The final contract for construction of the plant is expected in the coming months.
“Our in-house-developed multifeedstock concept is another proof in praxis for the flexibility and economic feasibility of our BDI ‘from waste to value’ approach,” said Edgar Ahn, chief sales officer and member of the BDI management board.
BDI says its multifeedstock technology can convert any waste or byproduct material, such as used cooking oil, animal fats and trap grease, with free fatty acid content up to 100 percent, into EN14214 on-spec biodiesel.
