US biodiesel plant to arrive via Portugal

Portugal-based engineering company Incbio is to supply a new biodiesel plant to DC Biofuels located in Washington, US.

The deal will see Incbio provide the 7.5 million gallons a year plant that will convert locally-sourced cooking and vegetable waste oils into biodiesel, which DC Biofuels would then sell on to local centrally fuelled public and private fleets.

The deal has been closed through mediation and support from International Procurement Tools but the amount has not been disclosed.

Incbio and DC Biofuels expect the plant to be complete before the end of 2013.
