Description:
FPG BioFuel Botswana is a young and growing Biofuel/BioDiesel technology company. The company has been involved in Biofuel education in Botswana through workshops and presentations. We have also set up a small scale processing unit for BioDiesel which is mostly used for demonstration purposes
FPG BioFuel Botswana is seeking $500K to move into large scale processing of biodiesel and its by-products. The investment will be used to set up the processing plant and also acquiring land to set up a jatropha farm.
This is going to be a long term project since the plants take some years to mature and give optimal yields. While that phase of the project is on course FPG Biofuel Botswana plans mostly to process WVO(Waste Vegetable Oil) for the production of BioDiesel.
