The project will be executed by Mission Biofuel as investor, KNM as contractor and Axens as licensor. The unit will produce 250,000 tons of biodiesel per year from palm oil. It is scheduled to go into production in the third quarter of 2008. Technip's operating center in Kuala Lumpur will execute this contract with assistance from the Group's operating center in Paris, which already built six production units in this sector of activity.
