Impact

The $122 million project is the first Nigerian ethanol facility to commence production, and uses cassava as a feedstock. The project has started to make more people aware that there are other ways of getting energy apart from crude oil, and is also showing that cassava sources for ethanol should not come from farms producing cassava for food, but from non-food farms and from supervised out growers organised for this purpose. Critically, Crownek Green Energy provides an innovative and scalable business model for alternative energy generation.
