Rwanda abandoning $35 million jatropha biodiesel project after four years
February 13, 2017 | Meghan Sapp
In Rwanda, after four years of unsuccessful attempts to get it off the
ground, the government is abandoning its $35 million biodiesel project.
Poor science behind the feasibility studies that expected jatropha to be
a key feedstock but later was determined to not be viable in the
country’s climate is blamed for the project’s failure. The government is
has tried to auction off equipment such as a biodiesel-fueled bus but no
buyers have been found. Potential use of the facility as an R&D site
have also been floated but not yet decided upon.
