	<title>Ensus welcomes new study showing advantages of wheat-based bioethanol in reducing global deforestation pressures</title>
	<description><![CDATA[Ensus has welcomed the findings of a new study commissioned by the Department for Transport which shows that the impact of wheat-based bioethanol on indirect land use is much lower than other biofuels &amp;ndash; and will bring about&amp;nbsp; a substantial reduction in greenhouse gas emissions caused by indirect land use change .
The study, by E4 Tech, was commissioned by the Department in the face of concerns that the use of biofuels intended to reduce carbon emissions was indirectly resulting in...]]></description>

	<title>Europe’s largest wheat refinery despatches first shipment of sustainably produced bioethanol </title>
	<description><![CDATA[The first tanker of sustainably produced bioethanol has been despatched from the UK&amp;rsquo;s and Europe&amp;rsquo;s largest wheat biorefinery which recently started production.
The cargo, which has been sold to Shell as part of a long term deal, will help Britain cut carbon emissions from road transport and meet its renewable fuel obligations from UK sources. Annual production of the new &amp;pound;250 million Ensus biorefinery on Teesside is expected to meet about a third of the UK requirement under...]]></description>

	<title>Biorefining cereal crops can have a major impact on the carbon footprint of meat</title>
	<description><![CDATA[Ensus has released a white paper focusing on the carbon footprint of the meat supply chain and how biorefining cereal crops can make a major impact on this.  The surprising conclusion is that greenhouse gas (GHG) savings from using animal feed from our biorefinery could be as large as savings from our biofuel (~70% of petrol&amp;rsquo;s GHG emissions).
The meat supply chain accounts for about a fifth of global GHG emissions.  A significant proportion of this comes from land use changes caused by...]]></description>

	<title>EU crop yields have the capability to support EU’s demands for food and fuel</title>
	<description><![CDATA[Additional demand for EU cereal grains will lead to higher crop yields.  This has the potential to provide most of the extra crops that will be required to meet both the EU&amp;rsquo;s food needs as well as the EU targets for biofuels. This is one of the conclusions of a second scientific paper by Ensus, which has been published in the respected journal &amp;lsquo;Global Change Biology - Bioenergy&amp;rsquo;.
This paper shows that the relative contributions of yield and area depend on the relative...]]></description>

	<title>Refining EU wheat into food and fuel reduces global deforestation pressures</title>
	<description><![CDATA[Refining EU wheat to produce bioethanol and high protein animal feed can reduce pressures on the world&amp;rsquo;s threatened rainforests by reducing Europe&amp;rsquo;s growing demand for soy meal imports. This is one of the conclusions of a new Ensus study, published in the scientific journal &amp;lsquo;Global Change Biology &amp;ndash; Bioenergy&amp;rsquo;.  The study highlights the potential of using idle EU agricultural land to reduce the demand for cropland outside Europe.
Currently the EU meat and dairy...]]></description>

	<description><![CDATA[Ensus, which is building Europe&amp;rsquo;s largest wheat refinery to produce both bioethanol and&amp;nbsp;animal feed, has launched a new website. It explains how its wheat refining operations will produce sustainable bioethanol for the European transport fuels market, along with a protein-rich animal feed, without increasing pressure on Europe&amp;rsquo;s food supply or on global deforestation.
The new site, www.ensusgroup.com, looks at how biofuel companies can address concerns about the impact of...]]></description>
