UKRA members provide sustainable biofuels solution

The UK Renderers’ Association (UKRA) has spoken out about the clear advantages of using rejected and unusable food materials to create biofuels. Responding to recent media coverage on the sustainability of first-generation biofuels, David Green, Technical Director of the UKRA spoke today of the benefits of using food industry by-products and residues which make them an ideal second-generation biofuel.

“Biofuel crops are currently being grown at the expense of rainforest and virgin lands cleared specifically for this purpose and are, therefore, becoming increasingly unsustainable. Using potential food crops as biofuel sources distorts the supply and availability of these foods.

“The by-products processed and utilised as fuel by UKRA members are far more sustainable, and fit well under the label of second-generation biofuels,” believes Mr Green. Visit UKRA website.
