American firm plans bio-diesel plant in Gambia
BANJUL, November 13 -- An American company, Global Bio-Energy Inc., plans to kick off a bio-diesel project in the country in March 2003 as its contribution towards the country’s poverty alleviation efforts.
The company hopes to set up a plant that will convert groundnut oil into diesel fuel, which can be used in any diesel engine without modification and without any adverse effect on engine performance or life.
It can also be mixed with regular (petroleum) diesel or used in a pure form. Among the ecological benefits of bio-diesel are that it contains no sulfur and does not add net CO2 to the atmosphere.
It is currently being produced in many countries such as France and Germany, which use a high percentage of bio-diesel mixed with petroleum diesel.
The plant will also produce seed meal to be used as animal feed, and glycerol to be used in producing detergents. Tim Cassidy, its senior vice president of international development, who had served as a US Peace Corps volunteer in The Gambia from 1994 to 1996, told this paper that they are currently working out details with distributors.
Global Bio-energy Inc. believes The Gambia offers a unique opportunity in the field of alternative fuels, given the low price of oil seed crop and the high price of diesel fuel as well as the deep seaport with modern facilities, a stable government that encourages foreign investment, and an energetic and diligent work force. The company is owned by Andrew McLoughlin, assistant vice-president at Deutche Bank, James Funck, a doyen of the US financial industry who had worked in Africa and Latin America, and Tim Cassidy, a forestry expert. - independent
