BDI-BioEnergy International awarded contract to build new feedstock-pretreatment plant in Belgium

BDI-BioEnergy International announced April 3 that it has signed a contract with Ghent Renewables BV to begin the construction of a pioneering feedstock-pretreatment plant for biofuel production.

This facility will be unique in its approach, according to BDI, integrating advanced technologies for the refining of feedstock for sustainable fuels.

The plant will feature significant production capacity and represents an important milestone in BDI’s mission to develop alternative fuel sources and reduce carbon emissions, the Austrian company stated.

By processing various waste materials, the facility will contribute to lowering the environmental footprint of the biofuel industry.

“We are excited to embark on this groundbreaking project with our partners,” said Manfred Baumgartner and David Niederl, managing directors at BDI-BioEnergy International. “This plant will set a new benchmark for feedstock refining and support our commitment to a sustainable energy future.”

Construction is already underway, according to BDI, and the plant is expected to be running at the end of this year.

Once operational, the facility will transform waste materials into high-quality feedstock for alternative fuels, showcasing BDI’s expertise in biofuel technology and plant construction.

BDI-BioEnergy International is a full-service provider of innovative green-technology solutions and the market leader in the construction of biodiesel plants.

BDI’s patented, flexible multifeedstock process and the resource-saving, environmentally friendly RepCat process allow maximum flexibility with waste and residual materials.

According to the company, these innovations guarantee highly efficient and economical production.

BDI’s vast experience in pretreatment of waste feedstock also makes it an ideal partner for the renewable diesel and sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) industry, the company noted.

In addition, BDI provides environmentally friendly technical processing solutions for upcycling plastic waste and proprietary fermentation technologies for the biogas-plant sector.

The company said it strives to minimize the ecological footprint of every customer.

Its range of services stretches from contract research, process development, engineering and scale-up services to customer aftercare.
