29 June 2011
Liberal Democrat MP Andrew George is backing a project to keep tax breaks for companies who produce biodiesel.
Producers transforming cooking oil into biodiesel currently benefit from a 20p differential but that is due to end next April.
The St Ives MP, who leads the Lib Dem Environment Team, has actually been meeting the UK sustainable .
Mr George said "a variety of small companies in Cornwall currently earn money from utilized cooking oil".
He included: "In order to be able to get this sort of industry going it does require just a little bit of lift which is available in the kind of tax foregone."
Biodiesel is a mix of standard diesel, rapeseed and vegetable oils.
