The first half year 2020/2021 was characterised by improvements in the Bioethanol and Biodiesel margins compared to the same period in the previous year. Capacity utilisation of the production plants in both segments was very good, including for the Group's biomethane plants. The production volumes for Bioethanol fell slightly by 2.8 percent compared to the same period in the previous year due to the decline in demand in the transport sector. The production of biomethane increased by 9.9 percent to 414.2 GWh. Investments in property, plant and equipment totalling EUR 32.3 million were made in the first half of the financial year 2020/2021 (1 HY 2019/2020: EUR 41.5 million). Biomethane plants in the USA and India will commence operation from autumn 2021.
