Never 'oat' of energy

Eye takes back every aside we've made about Quaker Oats. The breakfast company that the country loves and Friends get linked with has scored a green goal with its plan to convert oat husk waste into energy for its plant in Fife. The company is investing £6m in a combined heat and biomass boiler which will power up the factory and reduce its CO2 emissions by 9,000 tonnes a year.
Thousands of road miles will also be saved taking the husks away from the plant. We won't ask where they were going before or what they'll be doing with the lorries instead.
