PKN Orlen weighs options on bio-ethanol

The first one envisages the continuation of cooperation with 20 suppliers of the raw material, which must first receive permits. Orlen is also considering the construction of its own facility for producing the bio-component at an estimated cost between EUR45-50 million. The third alternative is forming a joint venture with Akwawit and Polmos Wrocław, both controlled by Aleksander Gudzowaty, who is currently in the process of consolidating them to create a company called Brasco. The final decision is to be made within a period of one month. (Puls Biznesu, p. 5) A.K.
