Scorched biodiesel plant in Australia back online

Following a fire that occurred almost a year ago to the day, Australia-based biodiesel producer Australian Renewable Fuels (ARF) has recommissioned its Largs North processing and storage facility.

 It has cost AU$6.5 million (€5.2 million) to rebuild, but now also includes a fuel-blending facility on-site. The first truck shipped fuel out at the start of December, with ARF officials confident the plant will be fully operational in January.

ARF makes its biodiesel via used cooking oil and tallow, which is stored at the facility, giving it a B20 blend to sell to consumers.
