The Vietnam Oil and Gas Group (PetroVietnam) is accelerating the building of the Dung Quat bio-fuel production plant, aiming to put it into operation on a trial run by October, 2011.
After 16 months of construction, 75 percent of the project has been completed. This is the biggest bio-fuel production plant in central Vietnam and it will use cassava to produce 100 million liters of bio- ethanol petrol per year. The super clean product will partly replace traditional petrol.
