Footballer turned businessman may run to head PZPN
Zbigniew Boniek, the once famous football player, has made the news again as he has been named among the runners to become the next president of the Polish Football Association (PZPN), but his other business plans related to the energy and biofuels sectors continue to move forward.
"I have been considering investments in renewable sources of energy for a long time. I have two projects and I will carry them out from start to completion," said Boniek.
He holds an 80 percent stake in Bon Oil, which will produce methyl esters, and is the sole owner of Bon Wind, which plans to generate electricity from wind.
"We already have a license to construct a methyl esters plant around Kędzierzyn-Koźle and we are in talks with sector partners for Bon Oil. I do not want to run this business on my own, I intend to sell some shares in the company. How many? That is an issue for negotiation," said Boniek.
The firm is to produce 100,000 tones of esters annually, which would place the company among the market leaders. Once financing is secured construction works should begin in Q1 2009 and be concluded within 14 months. Bon Wind expects to build two wind turbines within one year.
