Crunch day for at-risk fuel plant

200 JOBS THREATENED AT BIOETHANOL FIRM

- 

TIME is running out to save Britain's biggest bioethanol plant - with an announcement due as early as today.

The owners of Vivergo Fuels factory at Saltend, near Hull, blame the government's trade deal with Donald Trump, which will allow the States to import 1.4billion litres of tariff-free ethanol into Britain each year.

Associated British Foods says it means the loss-making plant will be unviable.
