Forum
[Bioenergy to Power Africa]
Greatest Forum of Bioenergy to Power Africa

Once in a year, a group of interesting and impactful people from Africa gathers for the week-long experience — which attendees have described as “the ultimate brain spa” and “a journey into the African future energy.”

Liquid biofuels, such as ethanol, biodiesel and straight vegetable oil (SVO), account for a very small share of total energy supplies in Africa, but small quantities of biofuels have been produced and used for almost three decades. This situation is changing however, as high fuel prices have encouraged many countries to develop biofuel policies and many investors to focus on Africa as a biofuel producer for export.
