The British Chambers of Commerce (BCC) has highlighted the urgent need for government action to protect the UK bioethanol industry from the impacts of a recent trade deal with the US. This deal has removed tariffs on US ethanol imports, posing a direct threat to local producers like Vivergo Fuels and Ensus. These companies employ thousands and support broader supply chains in agriculture and engineering. BCC advocates for targeted support, stressing its importance for preserving jobs and energy security, while contributing to the transition to low-carbon fuels in the UK.
The British Chambers of Commerce has called for urgent government action to safeguard the domestic bioethanol industry at risk due to US import tariff removals.
Without targeted support, UK bioethanol producers like Vivergo risks shutting down, threatening jobs and livelihoods across their extensive supply chains.
The recent UK-US trade deal presents benefits for some industries, but it endangers the bioethanol sector, vital for green jobs and sustainable fuel supply.
The BCC emphasizes the need for support to preserve jobs, maintain energy security, and support the UK’s transition to low-carbon fuels.
