Kuwait biofuel plant aims to export to EU and US

In Kuwait, the Mina Al-Ahmadi biofuel plant has its sights on the European and US markets for exporting the fuel it will produce when online in 2018. The facility is about 65% completed and should produce 800,000 barrels of biofuels per day at full production capacity. The fuel will seek compliance with European environmental standards set out in the Renewable Energy Directive that call for 60% GHG emissions savings for installations coming online in 2018.
