Landkom Develop New Biofuel Feedstock Variant
Landkom International, the Ukrainian wheat and oilseed producer listed on the AIM, has said it has signed a deal with Sunfuel Ukraine LLC to further develop, sell and process a new oilseed variant feedstock for the biodiesel industry called Isis.
Isis, they say, is similar to oilseed rape, but has the potential to be considerably more cost effective for biofuel production than both OSR and Palm Oil, as it can be grown on marginal quality or fallow farming land with a reduced fertiliser requirement.
After successful trials in Ukraine, Europe and South Africa the two companies say that they are now ready to move onto commercialising the seed.
