Plea to convert suger plant into biofuel refinery(Ireland)

The Carlow sugar factory could be converted into a biofuels refinery to help cut carbon emissions and benefit the local economy, it was claimed today.

Green Party Deputy Leader Mary White is spearheading the campaign to turn the sugar processing plant into a biofuels refinery with a conference on the issue in Carlow in two weeks time.

Today biofuels researcher Bernard Rice, who is addressing the conference, said that the Carlow sugar processing plant could be used to refine sugar beet into ethanol.
