Work has begun on a new £200 million bioethanol plant at Saltend near Hull which will benefit farmers in the Goole, Howden and Selby areas.

The plant will take in £1.1 million tonnes of UK-grown wheat with the aim of producing ethanol by summer, 2010.

The regulatory approval and funding is now in place and the groundwork preparations on the 25-acre brownfield site are almost complete.

Grain will be taken from more than 1,000 growers and talks are in place to develop growing regimes to ensure that wheat supplying the plant will be grown in a sustainable manner.
