Biodiesel Amsterdam production date draws closer
Biodiesel Amsterdam is on schedule to begin production from its €80 million facility in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, by October of this year.
Part of the Greenmills complex, the production facility will be manufacturing biodiesel from a 50:50 blend of tallow and used cooking oil (UCO). As well as Biodiesel Amsterdam, the Greenmills concept consists of Rotie Vetveredeling, and Tankstorage Amsterdam en Orgaworld.
Waste vegetable oil collector Rotie will supply the raw material that is utilised into 100,000 tonnes of second generation biodiesel, with the possibility of increasing this capacity to 120,000 tonnes following some adjustments. 40,000 – 45,000 tonnes of both UCO and tallow will be used. The UCO is collected by Rotie in approximately 60-65 trucks operating all over the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany and the north of France collecting the oil from food producers.
Due to a distillation concluding the conversion process, Biodiesel Amsterdam can guarantee the industrial EN 14214 standard.
According to Fabian Leeman, the commercial director of Biodiesel Amsterdam, the implementation of the Renewable Energy Directive and the Fuel Quality Directive will have a tremendous impact on the second generation biofuels market.
