Biodiesel plant abandoned
In Saint John, New Brunswick province, Canada, energy company Irving Oil has withdrawn its application that would have seen the construction of a biodiesel production facility adjacent to the company’s oil refinery.
On the 31 March this year Irving Oil applied for environmental impact assessment for a biodiesel plant that would manufacture biofuel from food waste.
The facility, which was developed to produce 2,2000 barrels of fuel each day, would have been built next to Irving’s conventional 300,000 barrel-a-day refinery, creating 300 construction jobs and between 20 and 30 permanent positions.
