Pilot Plant Bio Diesel in the DR
The DR News yesterday on DR1 contained the following reference regarding a Columbian built Pilot Plant - Bio Diesel to be funded with IDB funds.
Hoy is also reporting that the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) has approved the installation of a Colombian built pilot bio-diesel plant in the DR. The plant could be running by 2009 and will produce 10,000 liters per day.
Does anyone have any further info on this project. Sounds like a great idea. Any project that will promote an alternative source of (home grown) fuel will add to the DR's energy security in the long run as well as reduce reliance on fossil based fuel. I wonder what the proposed feedstock will be for this Pilot Plant?
