This study will identify the technological, agricultural and economic viability of bioethanol within the UK.

It will examine both the direct and indirect economic and environmental impacts of a number of production scenarios with particular emphasis on the East of England.

45 cities in France adopted a bio diesel programme. Appreciatively 70,000 tonnes of rape seed are processed to produce 20,000 tonnes of rape seed oil per year.

About 8,000 tonnes per year of raw rape oil are supplied by all Muhle Kiel. Important objectives of the project are: analyses of the market for bio diesel and verification of the bio diesel use under real conditions in vehicles.

There are very small communities (eg the town Terndrup) where a large potential for utilising local bio fuels from the surrounding countryside could be considered.

The existing individual oil burners have been replaced by a new DH system where the heat production is based on local biofuels or natural gasBred CHP on a gas motor.

A new biomass power station is being established by Border Biofuels Ltd at Carlisle, using vacuum pyrolysis to convert wood to energy.

The pyrolysis system produces gas, charcoal and oil. The oil will be used as fuel for a gas turbine and generator and can be stored, allowing the power station output to be matched to demand.

The project will create 27 full time jobs on site, 48 transport jobs and 34 new jobs on the forests.
