+<br>23 July 2013<br>
+<br>Argent Energy, a pioneer of [large-scale industrial](https://www.google.com/search?kgmid=/m/0cqd_rb) [production](https://www.businessnews.com.au/Company/Mission-NewEnergy) of [biodiesel](https://www.google.com/search?kgmid=/m/0cqd_rb) in the UK, has actually been bought by a [green investment](https://www.zoominfo.com/c/mission-newenergy/346542889) firm.<br>

+<br>Argent makes [green road](https://www.pinterest.com.au/missionnewenergy/) fuel by [recycling wastes](https://www.pinterest.com.au/missionnewenergy/) and residues such as [utilized cooking](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1463471/000165495419013063/R31.htm) oil and tallow from the meat industry.<br>

+<br>Mr Walker said the financial investment by John Swire highlighted [Argent's strong](https://www.intelligentinvestor.com.au/shares/asx-mbt/mission-newenergy-limited/share-price) market position, adding there was now an opportunity "to take Argent's abilities further afield".<br>
+<br>[Barnaby](https://www.nasdaq.com/market-activity/ipos/overview?dealId=804419-65608) Swire, of John Swire, said his company was devoted to "checking out and investing in ingenious and practical green markets".<br>
+<br>He added: "We are thrilled to be obtaining Argent Energy, a company which we believe can grow and flourish not just within the UK but likewise overseas, in particular in Asian markets with which Swire Group business are familiar.<br>
+<br>"John Swire & Sons Ltd sees in Argent Energy's workers a mix of attributes and values that are  with our own, and anticipate dealing with them to maximise [Argent Energy's](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1463471/000165495419013063/R31.htm) future potential."<br>
