Tanzania to develop sisal biogas
A company in the central east African country of Tanzania is planning to venture into the production of biogas from waste from the sisal plant, following the successful piloting of the project at Hale Sisal Estate in
Korogwe District.
Segera Estates, which owns three sisal estates in the region and another in the Coast Region, is currently looking for partners to develop the biogas production project.
Another private company, Katani, proved the feasibility of the project at the Hale pilot plant which was inaugurated by President Jakaya Kikwete last year in Tanga Region.
The plant now produces 150kw of electricity, enough for use in sisal decorticating machines for 12 hours non-stop.
Katani has already formed a subsidiary company, Mkonge Energy System, to produce and sell energy from renewable sources.
Production of biogas from sisal waste would boost the region’s efforts to control the emission of methane and other greenhouse gases. The company is now in the process of preparing a Project Development Document (PDD) before being registered for the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) status.
The projects for which the company is seeking partners include biodiesel production and waste water recycling in sisal fibre factories.
