African nations join global renewable fuels alliance
Fourteen southern African nations have been welcomed into the Global Renewable Fuels Alliance.
The move to join the alliance is clear indication of the southern African countries’ desire to promote biofuels policies throughout the world.
Andrew Makenete, President of the Southern African Biofuels Association (SABA), called on other nations to speak out in favour of policies that would promote investment in biofuels particularly in developing countries.
‘Biofuels represent an enormous opportunity for developing countries particularly those reliant on crude imports,’ Makenete explains. ‘A sustainable biofuels industry utilising multiple feedstocks will attract investments in agriculture, reduce our reliance on imported energy and improve income levels.'
The Global Renewable Fuels Alliance is a non-profit organisation dedicated to promoting biofuels friendly policies internationally. Alliance members represent over 65% of the global biofuels production from 43 countries.
