80 Mile launches commercial developments in Italy

In the UK, 80 Mile PLC announced a series of major commercial developments at its Ferrandina biofuels facility in southern Italy, underscoring the strong and growing demand for sustainable aviation fuel, hydrotreated vegetable oil, and biodiesel across Europe. The company and Hydrogen Valley have agreed to revised terms  to the acquisition agreement announced December 19, 2024  governing the Ferrandina ownership structure. Under the new arrangement, 80 Mile will increase its interest in HV to 100%.

In a landmark step, the company’s 100%-owned Greenswitch Srl has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with one of the World’s largest integrated energy companies, a publicly listed business ranked in the top 10% of the Fortune 500. This entity is a globally recognised, vertically integrated, leader in refining, petrochemicals and logistics.

Under the terms of the MOU, the Group will supply up to 80,000 tons per annum of renewable feedstocks to the Ferrandina plant beginning 1 November 2025. These will include Palm Oil Methyl Ester, both crude and refined, as well as Repurposed Used Cooking Oil, delivered to the port of Taranto, approximately 70 kilometers from the facility.

This guaranteed supply strengthens Ferrandina’s commercial model, ensuring reliable input for the production of biodiesel and SAF while positioning Greenswitch as a cornerstone in Europe’s transition to low-carbon energy.
