Ecoceres’ new Malaysian biofuel plant to starts operations this year

Ecoceres is planning to begin operations at its Malaysia-based biofuels production unit in the second half of this year.
The unit, according to a Reuters report, will have a total capacity of 350,000 metric tons per year of biofuels, which consists of 220,000 tpy of sustainable aviation fuel and 130,000 tpy of hydrotreated vegetable oil.
Used cooking oil and palm oil mill effluent will be among the key feedstocks for the plant, located in Malaysia's Johor region, he added, without elaborating where they will source the products from.
The biofuels producer, which currently operates a 260,000-tpy biofuels unit in Jiangsu, China, earlier signed an agreement with a waste management firm backed by the Chinese city of Shenzhen to source for biofuel feedstocks.
