Why is Ensus using wheat as the source of its bioethanol?
• Wheat is widely available in Europe. • The UK is one of the world’s most efficient wheat producers • It is currently in surplus, with the EU exporting some 15 million tonnes and the UK about three million. • There is significant potential to grow more wheat to meet our food needs as well as achieving the biofuel targets by continuing to increase yields and by bringing land which has been set aside or taken out of production back into use.
