Lurgi signs up for biodiesel plant
Germany's Lurgi has signed a Eur 10 million ($12.8 million) contract with state energy company Sonatrach to build a biodiesel plant on the Mediterranean coast. The plant will use rapeseed and palm oil feedstock to produce 200,000 tonnes a year of biodiesel, a cleaner-burning fuel, for export to Europe. Lurgi will provide engineering and procurement services, while Sonatrach will be responsible for construction activities. The exact location of the plant is still to be decided.
