This plant was closed thanks to last year’s trade deal with Trump. Now the government is forced to reopen it because of Trump’s war on Iran.
A lesson - any deal with Trump only undermines our resilience and security.

The US-UK trade deal has removed 19% tariffs from American Bioethanol (produced from Corn) imports to the UK.
I mean, this would be OK if imports gradually decrease due to electrification.
UK ethanol is produced from Feed Wheat (Ensus) and Sugar Beet (ABF).

And of course, the solutions proposed by Ensus and ABF to preserve the 6000 jobs in the #bioethanol supply chain are another panic move, rather than the kind of change that would normally be negotiated and thought through over time.
