China Plans Ethanol Plant in Cambodia

CAMBODIA - China National Petroleum Corporation is planning to invest $58 million dollars in an ethanol plant in Cambodia.

According to Radio Australia Newsthe new plant will use cassava as its raw material to generate fuel.

Radio Australia says that the report from the Cambodian Ministry of Agriculture reveals that the project by CNPC, China's largest oil and gas producer, will be funded by a Chinese government loan.

The official told the Phnom Penh Post no decision has been taken as the factory would require 40 million to 50 million tonnes of cassava annually, about 15 times current domestic production, the report says.
