CNOOC using jatropha in Hainan plant
In China’s southern Hainan province, China National Offshore Oil Corp (CNOOC) has begun the first government-run project to produce biodiesel using jatropha feedstock.
CNOOC is China’s largest offshore oil and gas producer, and got the go ahead from Beijing in July 2008 to use jatropha in its plant.
The refinery can produce 60,000 tonnes of biodiesel every year. It is now expected that the use of jatropha to generate biodiesel will reduce the amount of carbon dioxide emissions by 140,000 tonnes every year.
In similar news, in the northern Shanxxi province of China, China Integrated Energy is constructing a biodiesel refinery.
Production is scheduled to commence in the Q3 2010, with 150,000 tonnes being generated every year.
