Its role Owner
Vivergo (often known as Vivergo Fuels) is a UK-based biofuels company that operates a large wheat-to-bioethanol facility at the Saltend Chemicals Park near Hull, East Yorkshire. The plant produces fuel-grade bioethanol for blending into petrol and generates protein-rich animal feed co-products from the same process.
The company primarily uses feed-grade wheat sourced from UK farms, linking regional agriculture with the transport fuels and animal nutrition supply chains. Vivergo was established in 2007 as a joint venture between AB Sugar, BP, and DuPont, and its Hull complex is among the largest dedicated bioethanol operations in the UK. The business serves the domestic fuels market and livestock sector, contributing to the decarbonisation of road transport through ethanol blending and supporting the broader chemicals and industrial ecosystem at Saltend.
