Zu Tode subventioniert: Biosprit ohne Energie und Zukunft

The enormous damage being done by “splash and dash” imports of American biodiesel were highlighted today when one of the UK’s leading operators, D1 Oils, said it was closing down all its refining operations in Britain after running up a £46m annual loss. The company, listed on the London Stock Exchange, said in future it would concentrate on developing and growing jatropha plants in other parts of the world in cooperation with oil group, BP, and said it had raised £15m of new money to stabilise the financial side of the business. Nearly 90 staff in Middlesbrough and Bromborough, Merseyside, could lose their jobs as the newly built biodiesel refineries and research laboratories are shut down.
