Global Green Chemical to approve plans for $218.5 million biorefinery by Q3

In Thailand, the Bangkok Post reports that Global Green Chemical expects to approve the plans for developing its $218.5 million biorefinery complex by the third quarter this year. The facility will be located near sugar miller Kaset Thai International Sugar Corporation, PTT Global Chemical’s 50% joint venture partner in the project. The first phase of the project will include ethanol production as well as co-generation power. The project has been on ice waiting for the new domestic sugar policy that will allow for ethanol production directly from sugarcane juice.
