Brazil to build ‘Biofuel City’ in Nigeria to kickstart bioenergy industry

During the “Dia da Africa” (Africa Day, 25 May), which celebrates relationships between Brazil and Africa, a consortium of research organisations, companies and civil society organisations announced it will establish an ‘AgroCity’ (‘Biofuel City’) in Nigeria, to kickstart a biofuel revolution on the continent. (…) The Brazilian ‘Biofuel City’ project consists of the creation of a town that can, in a first phase, house 1000 people – who will become bioenergy experts – , on an area of 6 million square meters. The project is estimated to cost US$100 million in a first phase.
