Allowing Vivergo Fuels to close would jeopardise billions of pounds worth of green investment and derail the Humber’s ambitions to lead the UK’s future fuels sector, industry leaders have warned. Vivergo, which converts British wheat into bioethanol, is integral to the site in Hull. The plant supports the integrated infrastructure that underpins the park’s competitiveness and plays a critical role in both regional and national decarbonisation plans. The joint statement warns that Vivergo’s closure would have consequences far beyond a single plant. It would drive up costs for other Saltend businesses, damage confidence in the Humber’s future fuels cluster, and put at risk new hydrogen and renewable fuel projects currently in development.
