Bioenergy Green Technology

INTRODUCING BIO ENERGY IN ZAMBIA

Bio-Mass Energy
This is the use of waste produce from saw dust, agricultural waste, agricultural products, industrial waste, household garbage, and grass to produce clean and renewable energy- with the economic befits of carbon credits. Conventional straw power plants designed with furnace, steam boiler and turbine generator adapted for such resources can be used for small to medium sized power generation plants.

Bio-Liquid Energy
This is the use of jatropha seed, commercial waste oils and waste cooking oils to produce clean and renewable energy. Jatropha curcas plant Oil is categorized as a second generation bio fuel, not being in conflict with the food chain. The Jatropha tree produces fruit in the form of a 'nut shell' containing oil rich grains, typically 3 per shell. Industry benchmark targets extraction of 40% crude vegetable oil from the grain and 2,000 kgs oil per hectare. Click here for the EBFI Bio Position Statement.
