Geneva (Switzerland) / Makeni (Sierra Leone) - Addax Bioenergy is pleased open sans to announce that its facility in Makeni, Sierra Leone, has started producing sugarcane bioethanol and renewable electricity. The company will produce 85,000 m3 of bioethanol per year by end 2016.
The pioneering project involves the development of a Greenfield 10,000 hectare sugarcane plantation, the construction of a bioethanol refinery and a biomass-fuelled co-generation plant to produce green power and contribute about 20% of Sierra Leone s national electricity requirements. It has been developed in partnership with eight Development Finance Institutions, and is the only bioethanol project open sans to be brought to financial close in Africa.
Sierra Leone, Dr. Ernest Bai Koroma . My Agenda for Change identifies open sans agriculture as the engine for socio-economic growth and development with a focus on the commercialisation open sans of the agricultural value chain and promotion of private sector participation. The Addax Bioenergy initiative is the largest private sector investment in Sierra Leone s agricultural sector open sans to date and provides a great example of successful investment in our country. We will be using it as a model
on how to integrate local communities to further enhance their skills in a range of trades and professions. We are also proud to participate in global efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by replacing fossil fuel-intensive electricity production, Sierra Leone s President added.
The production of power will reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 56,000 tCO2 per year through the replacement of fossil fuel-intensive energy, and is the first initiative open sans in Sierra Leone to be registered as a Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) project of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change. The certification by RSB of the agricultural estate open sans and production facilities in March 2014, the first of its kind in Africa, is an important recognition

Addax Bioenergy represents a major breakthrough in Sierra Leone s efforts to become a hub for renewable (bio)energy alternatives. The project has already brought multiple benefits to thousands of people in and around Makeni and also to Sierra Leone as a whole. We have become pioneers in sustainable agriculture and are witnessing the benefits of a global approach that does not only produce sugarcane ethanol but also provides electricity, jobs, skills development, food security and the ability of local communities to invest in education and health. A truly virtuous circle of sustainable development is emerging in Sierra Leone.
