What do we do?

In simple terms we convert locally sourced feed wheat into both bioethanol, a more environmentally friendly transport fuel, and a highly nutritious animal feed for the dairy industry.

We are passionate about what we do and proud to say the bioethanol we produce helps to reduce transport carbon emissions in the UK.

After an extended pause the business is preparing to re-open, grow and recommence production in early 2022.
