After long years of planning and waiting on government approvals, the Globasol company has announced the start of a program to produce biodiesel fuel in the south western province of Azua. The source of the fuel will be castor beans and a variety of pine nuts called pinon de leche. The investment is expected to reach US$65 or US$75 million. The project involves the construction of six eco-villages that will operate as cooperatives for workers and their families to live. It is expected that 12,000 jobs will be created. The plant is designed to produce 18 million gallons of diesel fuel per year without destroying local eco-systems. It will be located near the wharf at Pueblo Viejo in Azua.
