Biodiesel production

 

Immingham    
 

Greenergy owns and operates 2 biodiesel plants in the port of Immingham on the East coast of England with a combined capacity of 200,000 tonnes/228 million litres a year.

Day-to-day operations at our biodiesel production facilities at Immingham are handled by px Biodiesel Ltd, which has been awarded ISO 9001: 2001.

Both biodiesel plants are located on a brown-field site at Immingham West Terminal which has existing sea, rail and road access as well as pipeline links to local petroleum oil refineries. Its sea-fed location enables effective logistics and trading with the UK and European vegetable oil and biodiesel markets as well as the wider world vegetable oil markets.

The plants are capable of using a variety of feedstocks including rapeseed, soy, palm and used cooking oils. A mix of different feedstocks is used to get the best balance of quality, price, carbon and environmental impact.

The biodiesel produced is sold to customers throughout the UK. If economics dictate, there is scope for wider sales distribution as European markets continue to grow.

     
US Production   Blending
 
     

Greenergy has been producing biodiesel in the US since January 2008 through a variety of toll-processing arrangements. We now produce biodiesel at sites in Georgia, Virginia and North Carolina, giving us a total US production capacity of over 6,000mts per month.

These US biodiesel production arrangements allow us to tap into one of the largest sources of food industry by-products (tallow) available anywhere in the world, and thereby expand the percentage of biodiesel derived from by-products used in our feedstocks mix.

  As well as producing biodiesel in the UK, we also have substantial biodiesel blending operations at Vopak Vlaardingen in the Port of Rotterdam. We have pioneered biodiesel blending operations at the terminals, blending in specially adapted tanks in order to meet our specific customer requirements. We also ship product out of the Rotterdam terminal to customers across Europe.
