BDI-BioEnergy International AG announced that it has completed commissioning of the largest multifeedstock biodiesel plant in France, Estener’s 75,000 ton (22.5 MMgy) plant in Le Havre. The plant processes used cooking oils and animal fats into biodiesel. BDI stated it completed the €16.4 million project on schedule in 11 months.
“We are particularly proud that our technology was chosen for the construction of the first multifeedstock biodiesel plant in France and that we have succeeded in satisfying our customer by implementing the project successfully,” said Edgar Ahn, BDI’s chief science officer.
Biodiesel manufactured from waste materials in France counts double towards the achievement of the national renewable energy targets.
