Date: 10-Oct-05
Country: UK
Cargill said the plant will turn vegetable oils into fatty acid methylesters, or biodiesel. The company has an oilseed crushing plant in Mainz.
The European Commission is currently encouraging the production of biodiesel to help meet targets for reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
Cargill announced earlier this year it would expand its oilseed crushing plants in Germany to allow it to maintain supplies for its food customers as well as meeting growing demand for biodiesel.
