Port Kembla to get biodiesel facility
In Australia, plans for a €137 million biodiesel production facility at Port Kembla on the New South Wales (NSW) central coast have been unveiled.
The facility will process soyabeans for the primary industry, with the by-product refined to make biodiesel.
The plant based at the port's Inner Harbour will be able to supply most of the state's total requirements by 2011, and will be the first facility of its kind in Australia, with a similar plant now under construction in South Africa.
NSW Lands Minister Tony Kelly says 5% of diesel used in the state will have to be biodiesel within two years.
