Not only would E10 please Ensus and Vivergo it would please those looking to sell wheat as it would suck in a lot of tonnage.... probably put £10/ton on wheat price in Eastern counties
Tax relief on Red Diesel being scrapped in budget?

It would also produce a high protein feed which is g m free leading to the ability to label gm free in the food isles
That assumes they are using wheat, not maize. They use whatever is cheapest and at the moment maize is much cheaper. Both are near deep water ports.
Only if they run on wheat. Most maize is GM

a local firm has a couple of electric 8 wheeler concrete mixer lorries and they like them, runs on electric upto 30 mph, and diesel above 30 mph,
engine hardly ever runs most days,

vivergo. Is a wheat plant
ensus. Is a maize plant converted to wheat but uses a blend
Vivergo can only run on wheat,that’s why it closed

Given GM maize production is illegal for UK farmers is seems only right that we should blockade those few deep water ports bringing in GM maize to supply these plants.... A few days of direct action that will not affect the wider public but serve as a warning shot to the government who seem keen to press ahead in allowing an increase in the quantity of cheap food imports produced to standards that would be illegal in the UK....

Another perfect example of random red diesel use - volumetric concrete mixer trucks.
Seed cleaner lorries likewise too.....!

Isn't this switch over going to make it difficult for HMRC to prove that a vehicle that tests positive for red is actually breaking the law, if it used to be able to use red legally? That is to say if they descend on a building site and find traces of red in the diggers, will the owners not argue that 'Well of course, it used to run on red before the change in the law, and that must have contaminated the sample, your Honour!'?
How long would traces of red stay in a tank?

i expect it will be the purchase of it from oil merchants that will be controlled , and made illegal to be sold on ., as now i believe , think the red die someone said was like a barcode and can be traced back to source . woe be tide any construction equipment with farmer traces of red

It's a valid point. I'm sure they'll work a plan out for it to tackle it somehow.

There are so many grey areas.
How about Internal drainage boards? Diggers, and tractors with ditch mowers?

and those blessed council grip cleaners!!!
If we stop producing something here and import it , it means that someone somewhere else in some far away out of sight place goes without and probably gets pushed of their subsistence land by some big multi national ag company like cargill or pioneer etc .
No we can't feed ourselves but we do need to look at the bigger picture rather than just buy the cheapest ticket as a nation .

[Withdrawn] Fuelling a greener future: E10 petrol set for September 2021 launch
E10 fuel – an eco-friendly blend of petrol and ethanol that could cut transport CO2 emissions by 750,000 tonnes a year – to be available by September 2021.
E10 roll-out from this coming September...
I wonder who will have the supply agreement with Vivergo...

What's the one thing this non food chain wheat doesn't need (and the maize they're currently using doesn't have)?

They'll still want a sticker, every buyer likes a sticker, just like i used to get one when visiting the dentist as a kid
