about vivergo
Who We Are
Vivergo Fuels was formed in 2007 as a biorefinery for the future. This exciting new business will help to deliver the UK's forecast biofuel demand once fully operational in in 2010.
The Plant is based at Saltend and at the peak of construction will have over 400 people working on, followed by about 70 full-time employees once fully operational. We will take in over one million tonnes of animal feed wheat each year and with this create two main products; bioethanol and animal feed.
3 core benefits of where Vivergo Fuels is based are:
- Located in the UK's wheat belt area; one of the highest yielding in the world.
- Local proximity, good quality CHP will supply steam and power to our Biorefinery.
- Our deep port location helps to optimise our supply chain logistics.
