BDI-BioEnergy International has signed a contract with Ghent Renewables BV to begin the construction of a pioneering biofuel feedstock refinery plant. This facility will be unique in its approach, integrating advanced technologies for the refining of feedstock for sustainable fuels.

The plant, with a significant production capacity, will represent an important milestone in BDI’s mission to develop alternative fuel sources and reduce carbon emissions. By processing various waste materials, the facility will contribute to lowering the environmental footprint of the biofuel industry.

“We are excited to embark on this groundbreaking project with our partners,” say Manfred Baumgartner and David Niederl, managing directors at BDI-BioEnergy International. “This plant will set a new benchmark for feedstock refining and support our commitment to a sustainable energy future.”

Construction is already underway and the plant is expected to be operational at the end of this year. Once operational, the facility will transform waste materials into high-quality feedstock for alternative fuels, showcasing BDI’s expertise in biofuel technology and plant construction.
