[The UK's largest bioethanol plant
is set for closure with
the loss of 160 jobs after the government
confirmed it would not offer a bailout deal
to the facility in Lincolnshire.
Owners Vivergo, a subsidiary of
Associated British Foods,
had warned that the plant would close
without government support,
and sources at the company have told
Sky News the wind-down process is now
likely to begin.

ABF, which also owns Primark,
has not formally confirmed its closure plans.

An ABF spokesperson said the government's
decision was "deeply regrettable" and it had
"chosen not to support a key national asset".

They added that the government had
"thrown away billions in potential growth
in the Humber and a sovereign capability
in clean fuels that had the chance
to lead the world".]

Yes PM Starmer
Kill the UK Division OFF
you git.

Anything that uses specially-felled (and imported) trees to burn for power, should be closed down anyway.

Ridiculous they get away with claiming to be "green" or "net zero", let alone getting relevant government moneys.
