Plan For Bio-Fuel Plant In Carlow
Plans are in place for the construction of a huge bio-fuel plant in County Carlow.
Work on the €200m bio-refinery – which would produce 300 million litres of bioethanol a year – is expected to begin later this year.
The proposal by Sustainable Industries Ireland will also create around 200 job opportunities.
Plans for the bio-refinery are said to be at an advanced stage. It will be able to convert agricultural products including beet, oats and wheat into bioethanol - a substitute for petrol. The plant would also make livestock feed, fertiliser and chemical compounds.
A second aspect of the development would involve the creation of biogas from farming, sewerage and municipal waste to produce electrical power.
The company is also investigating a horticulture project to use waste heat and carbon monoxide to produce food greenhouse products such as tomatoes and berries.
The company is negotiating the purchase of sites in Carlow and at Belview Port near Waterford, where products for the industry could be imported and exported.
