Bioethanol produced by British Sugar<\/a>‘s new \u00a320m biofuels plant at Wissington will soon be powering cars across the UK after the company signed a contract to supply one of the UK’s leading fuel companies.<\/p>\n

British Sugar has signed a contract with Greenergy Fuels<\/a> to supply much of the output from the plant, which is due to come on stream early next year.<\/b><\/p>\n

Greenergy Fules is one of the UK’s leading suppliers of bioethanol-blended petrol to petrol retailers including Tesco.<\/p>\n

Bioethanol can be added to unleaded petrol at a concentration of up to 5pc without modifications being required to engines.<\/p>\n

Tesco currently sells petrol containing 5pc bioethanol as standard at 185 petrol stations in the South-East and North-West. Greenergy will blend the bioethanol bought from British Sugar into the petrol it supplies to Tesco petrol stations. <\/p>\n

The announcement of the supply agreement was made at an event in London on Tuesday where British Sugar was joined by other representatives of the new UK bioethanol production industry.<\/p>\n

Guests included Stephen Ladyman, Minister of State for Transport and Jonathan Nash, managing director of Saab GB, which has developed a range of bioethanol powered vehicles.<\/p>\n

Mark Carr, British Sugar chief executive said: “We are delighted to take the lead in this exciting new industry. Our agreement with Greenergy is a significant step in the development of renewable fuels in the UK, and we look forward to a continuing relationship. Renewable fuels are an essential part of our future and our children’s future which will contribute significant benefit to the environment.\u201d<\/p>\n
