Vic Shelton has been appointed managing director of UK based ABS Biodiesel. The company has recently been awarded planning permission to develop its production facility at Avonmouth Docks. “This is a fantastic opportunity", said Shelton. “Having already pre-sold its first and second year capacity, even before the development of the plant commences, I’m looking forward to using my experience to deliver ABS’s ambitious goals going forward.”
ABS will be investing over £21m in the new 24,500 sq ft facility, which will cover three acres of undeveloped land at Bristol Port. It will, claims the company, be the UK’s largest biodiesel production facility. The site will initially produce approximately 225,000 tonnes of biodiesel, with the capacity of the site enabling this to be increased to 500,000 tonnes.
