Biofuels have had many false dawns. However, as one industry source predicts: “The factors driving the beginning of the biofuel industry will not go away.”

Global warming, the massive erosion of fossil fuel supplies and increasing awareness of our stewardship of the planet are amongst the dynamics that are pushing biofuel forward.

While our European counterparts are well ahead of us in Ireland there is a real opportunity for Northern Ireland’s role in this global success story to develop under Evergreen Energy.,

Evergreen Energy is a local company set up by local people committed to harnessing the latest eco-friendly technology to tap into the emerging green-energy market and bringing economic benefits to the entire area.

If the project is successful Evergreen Energy anticipates replicating its Belfast harbour estate model in other parts of Europe while retaining its Northern Ireland base as European Headquarters.
