Zimbabwe ethanol plant should put fuel on market by June

The news comes as Green Fuels, the company setting up an ethanol plant in Zimbabwe's Lowveld region, reports delays to construction efforts at the plant.


Unfortunately a strike by South African port authorities means delays of three months will be experienced.


Daily News reports that the company said it had now implemented a 24-hour work schedule to complete the construction of the plant. The project, which on completion and when fully operational will employ more than 10 000
people, will help reduce the price of fuel in Zimbabwe.


The by-products from the plant will be used to produce electricity, enough to light up the whole of Manicaland and also produce large quantities of stock feed.


The community is also benefitting through outgrower projects, while irrigation schemes in the area have been revived after Green Fuels repaired the Agricultural Rural Development Authority (ARDA) pumps which had not been working for more than five years.


Green Fuels, using their agricultural company, Macdom and Rating Investments, is growing cane on vast swathes of land on Chisumbanje and Middle Sabi estates under a build, operate and transfer arrangement with Arda.


ARDA will inherit everything, including state-of-the-art mechanisation at the end of the agreement whose lifespan is 20 years.
