A 50/50 joint venture between Natural Fuel Limited and Babcock & Brown Environmental Investments (B&B Environmental) has entered voluntary administration.
Two representatives of Ferrier Hodgson have been appointed as voluntary administrators of the joint venture, called Natural Fuels Australia — a separate entity to Natural Fuel — after B&B Environmental withdrew funding support, according to a statement from Natural Fuel.
B&B Environmental has chosen not to extend the September 30, 2008, repayment date for Natural Fuels Australia’s secured loan to its partner.
