Producing bio-fuel at Greencore ‘viable’

BIO-FUEL production at the former Greencore plant in Mallow, Co Cork, is viable, according to a report carried out by Cork County Council published yesterday.

The report says that bio-Ethanol production is possible at the site, if government policies are tailored to facilitate it.

The council concludes that it could be a realistic venture. It suggested that farmers should be encouraged to enter the bio-fuel market and that start-up costs should be defrayed.
