| Additional Information |
The Venice plant produces bio-diesel with EcofiningTM technology. In June 2018, a purification plant started up which allows the processing of crude instead of pre-treated vegetable oils, to increase the amount of cooking and vegetable oils and animal fats used. From 2024, a further upgrading of the plant will increase the bio-refinery processing capacity up to 560,000 tonnes per year with a total production of bio-diesel that will reach approximately 420,000 tonnes per year. The overall cost of the bio-refinery is 500 million euros, including research and other costs. It employs around 200 actual people (BP 2021-2024) and has created 200 induced jobs.
