“This investment by our starches and sweeteners business will allow us to further build on our ethanol expertise in Europe, enabling us to better serve our customers throughout the region,” said Frank van Lierde, executive vice president at Cargill Incorporated.
The new facility will be built alongside Cargill’s existing wheat processing plant on the company’s site in Barby. The plant will produce ethanol through innovative technology by using feedstock from the adjacent wheat facility, using primarily locally grown wheat.
The company says the new plant will be built ‘to the highest environmental, food and health and safety standards, using the best available technologies’. It is expected to be operational by the autumn of 2015.
