Bionas eyes GBP500m London listing
Bionas Group is looking at raising up to GBP500m from the proposed listing of its subsidiary Bionas Fuel (UK) Ltd on London’s Alternative Investment Market by mid 2011. The Malaysia-based company plants jatropha fruits and produces jatropha additives to make biodiesel. The IPO proceeds will mainly be used to expand its jatropha plantings in Africa. The fruit is not edible, unlike conventional vegetable oils used for biodiesel, and thus does not face the food versus fuel dilemma. Barclays will be handling the IPO.
