Since I’m involve in green energy, I simply can’t ignore any news related to biofuel and green energy. Another interesting news that I’ve that had make me happy is the establishment of an Italian company to open a jatropha to biofuel plant in Africa.
Italian bioenergy consultancy company Agroils aims to produce 100 000 tons of biofuel from jatropha plant in 2018 in Africa and Brazil where it works together with local farmers, its co-founder said.
Agroils started projects to grow jatropha to make biofuels in Marocco, Ghana, Senegal, Cameroon and Brazil last year, Giovanni Venturini Del Greco, who is also Agroils’ business development manager, told an energy conference on Thursday.
“Our goal is a 100 000 t output in 2018,” he said.
The projects included a 200-hectare field in a desert in Marocco and 10 000 ha in Ghana and areas would grow if the initial projects were a success, he said.
