by Will Nichols (Business Green) Preferred site has been chosen for London facility set to generate two per cent of BA’s fuel from waste
BA is set to begin initial construction on a planned biofuel-from-waste plant before the end of the year and will look to build several facilities in the UK should the technology prove successful.
