You rapeseed what you sow, or What’s with biodiesel in Ukraine?

Ivan Kilhan, a farmer from the Lviv region, in western Ukraine, is perhaps the only biodiesel ‘tycoon’ in the country.

His diesel plant produces about 20 tonnes of biofuel per day from vegetable oil—mostly rapeseed oil.

"Every day, a large 27-cubic metre diesel tanker is ready for shipment," says Mr Kilhan.
