Celtic Renewables (original) (raw)

Celtic Renewables Ltd. is the first company to produce biofuel from the by-products of the scotch whisky industry. It has been estimated that annually the whisky industry produces 1.6 billion litres of pot ale and 500,000 tonnes of draff which has historically been used for animal feed. Celtic Renewables has utilised these resources and adapted the traditional Weizmann Fermentation process (also known as ABE fermentation) to produce Biobutanol.. The company has been granted planning permission for its first scale biorefinery at Caledon Green, in Grangemouth, Scotland.
