HC Deb 27 June 1995 vol 262 c573W
Mr. Spearinig

To ask the President of the Board of Trade what support is being given by his Department to research or development into internal combustion engines whose main source of fuel is from vegetable or cereal-based oils. [30809]

Mr. Page

[holding answer 26 June 1995]: The Department of Trade and Industry is part funding, through its renewable energy programme, a European Community project, led by Ormrod Diesels of Skelmersdale, to establish whether pyrolysis oils derived from wood and cereal straw have the prospect of providing an economically attractive and environmentally acceptable fuel for internal combustion engines.
