Project overview
About this development
Addax Bioenergy plans to develop a Greenfield sugarcane plantation with a total planted area of 19200 ha. The sugarcane will be used to produce 120 000 m3/y of fuel ethanol for the European market. A sugarcane to ethanol plant will be built on site and it is anticipated that the factory will be able to produce substantially more power through co-generation than is required to run the factory. The project development area is located approximately 15 km west of the town of Makeni in the Makari-Gbanti Chiefdom of the Bombali District, Northern Province of Sierra Leone. Over 90% of the sugarcane requirements will be sourced from the company plantation. The 10% balance, and most of the cassava will be purchased from local and regional outgrowers. The project value is estimated at $340 million
