Emissions reduction specialist Eminox has signed a major, new agreement with science and chemicals company Johnson Matthey that will accelerate the growth of the biofuel market and clean up the environment.

Eminox has designed a key product that it will start manufacturing at its Gainsborough base in the autumn. It will then be shipped to the USA, where it will be sold by Johnson Matthey to the world’s first plant to make low-carbon, renewable diesel and jet fuels from household waste that would otherwise have gone to landfill.

“The agreement will help to improve the environment for us all.”
