In the UK, 80 Mile PLC announced the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding between Greenswitch Srl, a subsidiary of Hydrogen Valley Ltd, in which 80 Mile holds a 49% interest, and NACATA Commodities. The MOU outlines a potential five-year supply and offtake agreement for the Ferrandina plant in southern Italy, under which NACATA would supply up to 120,000 metric tons per annum (‘tpa’) of feedstock and purchase and distribute the resulting end products. These include an expected 40,000tpa of esterified bioliquid and 80,000tpa of biodiesel.
The agreement aligns with Greenswitch’s top-tier sustainability certifications and compliance with internationally recognised operating standards, including ISO and ISCC certifications. The biodiesel will be produced to EN 14214 specifications, ensuring it meets the highest global quality standards.
The Ferrandina plant, fully permitted and recently refurbished, is capable of refining secondary feedstocks including palm oil mill effluent, used cooking oil, animal fats, and acid oils. These capabilities position the plant at the forefront of Europe’s renewable fuel infrastructure, supporting growing demand for biodiesel and sustainable aviation fuel.
