Bioenergy cross cutting issues

The aims of this project were to design and evaluate of the effectiveness of solid/liquid separation from the digester effluent and to assess the potential value for (partially dried) organic fertilizer in Mali.

This document gives a summary of lessons learned from the first three Jatropha pilot projects from FACT, which took place in Mali, Mozambique and Honduras, from 2007-2009 (with Mozambique being until 2010).

Local bioenergy projects can galvanize rural development and improve livelihoods. Biorefinering can also improve local incomes.

This study investigates the carbon sequestration capacity of Jatropha curcas, a tropical tree-like shrub that is widely cultivated for the production of oilseeds for biodiesel and biokerosene.

The starting point for this project
was to develop the technical
layout and business plan for
a biogas-based battery charging
station in Uganda for FACT Foundation.
