The production figures will also be aided by the commencing of operations at the Ensus plant on Teessid that had been shut for some time reported the Financial Times.

The Ensus plant had been shut in 2010 following declining demand for European ethanol that made production at the facility economically unviable.

Employing low-protein wheat as feedstock, the two plants are expected to help Britain get closer to its green energy target of using 10% bio-fuel in the transportation sector by 2020.

Aside from the boost to bio-fuel targets the plants will also provide succor to the local economies with considerable job creation.
