NESTE, TOTAL CANCEL FRENCH BIODIESEL PROJECT Neste Oil and Total have decided to discontinue their project to build a plant to produce diesel fuel from renewable raw materials at a Total refinery in France.
Feasibility studies on the project, which was announced in 2005, have shown that building the plant at Dunkirk would have proved too expensive. Neste Oil’s other biodiesel projects continue as planned. Neste Oil has a similar plant in the final stage of construction at its Porvoo refinery in Finland which is due to come on stream in the first half of this year. Recently the company decided to build a second identical plant at the same site which is due to be commissioned towards the end of 2008. The two plants at Porvoo will have a combined output of 340 000 t/a and are projected to cost approximately 200 million.
