Excise relief for bioethanol

EXCISE relief is being relieved for bioethanol made from a milk derivative, in an ambitious pilot project which will involve introduction of up to 50 bioethanol filling stations in Ireland.

Submitted by Maxol Ltd, it is the only bioethanol project approved for excise relief.

Two of the four pure plant oil (PPO) projects approved were submitted by companies which pioneered biofuels in Ireland and are already actively engaged in production.
