From Macauhub
The ethanol factory owned by NDZiLO in Mozambique’s Dondo province, was opened Thursday and has a production capacity of 2 million litres of ethanol made from cassava, the business’ partners said.
A partnership between US venture capital company CleanStar Ventures, and Denmark’s Novozymes, NDZiLO intends to provide an improved solution for cooking meals to residents of Mozambican urban areas, where the price of charcoal has risen three-fold over the last three years. Ethanol use will also reduce smoke produced by burning charcoal and reduce the number of trees cut down to make it.
