Biofuels factory Vivergo set to shut down, potential ripple effects on the UK's carbon dioxide industry to be examined
In a significant development for the bioethanol and animal feed industry in the UK, Associated British Foods (ABF) has announced the closure of its production plant, Vivergo, located in Hull. The decision, made due to financial losses incurred by ABF and lack of support from the UK government, is an irreversible one.
ABF has determined to close Vivergo immediately, with production ceasing by 31 August. This decision follows extensive discussions with the UK government, but no short-term financial support or long-term regulatory certainty was offered.
Vivergo, apart from being a bioethanol production plant, also produces animal feed for UK farms. The closure of the plant will mean that this essential resource will no longer be available, affecting hundreds of jobs in the Hull area.
The lack of government support for the bioethanol industry in the UK has been highlighted by the closure of Vivergo. The UK government has decided not to offer short-term financial support or long-term regulatory certainty to Vivergo, a move that has raised concerns within the industry.
This closure is a significant event in the bioethanol and animal feed industry in the UK. For those interested in in-depth coverage of this and other related topics, subscribing to gasworld offers access to such content every month.
