The main activity of Biofuels is the large scale production and exploitation of biodiesel and glycerine following the construction and commissioning of the initial plant.
Biodiesel is produced from vegetable oils and, as an environmentally friendly product, can make a significant contribution towards reducing green house gases and meeting Kyoto targets.

Let's hope we've bottomed on this one and they can hit their latest target for once by the next RNS.

BTW - today I emailed Philip Wood at DOO and Sean Sutcliffe at BFC suggesting they consider a merger of their two companies.
I'll let you know the response.

belisce6 - the day you get close enough to smell my breath, I'll brush my teeth for you. Till then I'm just as happy to go by my chosen name which is stockdog if it's all the same to you.
Anyway, unfounded rumour be blowed - I am fully founded and it's no rumour, but a concrete suggestion that I truly believe would have immense value for us all.

'The plant remains on track, operational in August 2005 and in full production by the end of September 2005'
Quoted from their website and with an updated picture of progress.

I live in the Algarve,Portugal where the largest concentration of eucalyptus trees is to be found,in Europe.
For the last three years there has been systematic,criminal activity resulting in the destruction of 5% of Portugal's forests,most damage occuring to the eucalyptus plantations.As Portugal was grossly ill equipped to cut and transport such an enormous quantity of burnt timber,the job was farmed out to the old enemy,Spain....believed to be the brains behind the forest fires.The Spanish contractors bought the timber at below market prices and then sold it on for a tidy profit.
Spanish companies BOUGHT thousands of hectares of burnt Portuguese eucalyptus plantations at absurdly cheap prices and it is said that the next crop of trees which will be cut in about eight years'time ,will be processed by German companies( who will buy the timber directly from Spanish owners)and used to make bio-diesel.The Portuguese stand to lose all of the benefits that their eucalyptus plantations could have brought to them!
This is a conspiracy theory doing the rounds at the moment...but I brought it to your attention in order to offer eucalyptus as an alternative source of bio-diesel to palm,rapeseed etc.

Since Eucalyptus rawstock seems to involve destroying the tree and I imagine the trees take some years to grow to maturity, I do not see how this can compete, as a renewable source of bio-fuel feedstock, with annual crop-bearing sources, like palm oil and jatropha beans.
Keep the trees and attract bees and tourists with them - it will be more profitable for the Portuguese landowners I am sure.
