Biofuels: Total Intends to Take an Active Part in BioTfueL France’s Second-Generation Biodiesel Pilo

PARIS - As Europe’s leading automotive fuel refiner and marketer, Total is committed to stepping up the development of second-generation biofuels, which are needed to improve the environmental profile of crop-based fuels and avoid the use of food crops as feedstock.

 

Already a partner in France’s Futurol project to develop second-generation bioethanol, Total has expressed an interest in actively participating in the BioTfueL project. In particular:

 

it has offered to provide more than 30% of the financing required of the project partners;

share the expertise and dedication of its R&D teams;

and host a pilot unit to test the process at an existing plant, which would reduce the associated costs.

Total hopes that this project will be deployed as soon as possible.
