Green Biofuels Ireland, Biodiesel <strong>Plan</strong>t, New Ross, Co. Wexford<br />

Renewable Biofuel Generation; Biodiesel<br />

Green Biofuels Ireland has commissioned a 30,000 tonne biodiesel<br />

plant in New Ross, Co. Wexford. Construction began on the<br />

facility in April 2007 and it is expected to be completed in 2008.<br />

Green Biofuels Ireland intends to commence the production of<br />

biodiesel from oil seed rape, recovered vegetable oils and animal fat.<br />

The raw materials for the facility will be sourced mainly from the company’s shareholders, which include existing RVO<br />

handlers, as well as Wexford Farmers Co-op which has 4,000 farmer shareholders.<br />

Green Biofuels Ireland was successful in obtaining excise relief under the Government’s MOTR scheme, as discussed in<br />

Chapter 3. The plant will produce 34 million litres of biodiesel per annum.<br />
