It is feast or famine when you compete with a commodity as wildly price volatile as petroleum.
As oil prices continue to edge up again these mothballed plants are firing back up and many more will be built.

Hi Simon - you might be interested in a new cassava biofuel story on our blog here at CIAT in Colombia. A 4x4 is running on cassava bioethanol - as far as we know it's a world first! Best for now. Neil.
