Thousands of jobs in the renewable energy sector are now at risk after the Government confirmed it will not step in to save the Vivergo Fuels plant at Saltend Chemicals Park.

The future of the Vivergo plant, on the outskirts of Hull, has been under threat as a result of the recent UK-US trade deal. The deal removed a 19 per cent tariff on ethanol imported from the US up to a quota of 1.4bn litres.

Vivergo at Saltend supports over 160 skilled jobs directly and around 4,000 more in the supply chain across Hull and East Yorkshire.

After months of negotiations, the Government’s Department for Business and Trade (DBT) has now confirmed it will not intervene and directly fund UK-based bioethanol firms, including Vivergo.
