Construction of a Biomass-to-Energy powerplant
Description
Funding is already completed with the help of the African Carbon fund and construction is to begin immediately. The project was devised as an addition onto our main industry which is the production of biodiesel from Jatropha. This project utilizes the seed cake produced from the pressing of jatropha for the oil as well as other agricultural waste products into an additional source of energy for the people of Burkina Faso. It will also be a source of CERs and produce approximately 250,000+ carbon credits by 2020.
