European Union ambassadors visited Pannonia Bio’s organic refinery in Dunaföldvár, central Hungary, as part of the opening program of the Irish EU Presidency.
Ireland assumed the rotating presidency of the Council of the European Union on July 1. As part of one of the presidency’s first events in Hungary, nearly twenty EU ambassadors accredited to Hungary, along with senior representatives of European institutions, visited Pannonia Bio’s Dunaföldvár facility.
The diplomatic delegation familiarized itself with the operations and development plans of Europe’s largest single-site biorefinery, emphasizing that continuous development and innovation are essential for successful operation.
The visit was led by Ragnar Almqvist, Ireland’s Ambassador to Hungary. The aim of the program was to showcase one of the most successful examples of Irish-Hungarian economic cooperation, as well as the industrial and economic opportunities inherent in the bioeconomy.
During an interactive plant tour, the delegation observed how the Dunaföldvár biorefinery processes agricultural raw materials and how it produces, from the same grain, raw materials for the food and feed industries, sustainable proteins, vegetable oils, fibers, renewable molecules, biomethane and other high-value-added products.
