Kenya needs Sh30bn to build biofuel factories for aircraft
There is a growing push globally to blend jet fuel with biofuels and shift to low-emission aviation fuel, a move that has potential to cut up to 80 percent of the carbon emissions by aircraft.
Kenya needs a minimum of Sh30.45 billion ($235 million) investment to produce biofuel (sustainable aviation fuel) for airlines and replace up to 15 percent of the current jet fuel, according to a study by the World Bank.
The study shows that the funds can be used to set up the Hydrotreated Esters and Fatty Acids (HEFA) facilities that can produce up to 4,000 barrels per day (BPD) of biofuel by refining vegetable oils and waste oils.
