[haguruka.com] Rwanda abandoning $35 million jatropha biodiesel project after four years : Biofuels Digest

Rwanda abandoning $35 million jatropha biodiesel project after four years

February 13, 2017 | Meghan Sapp

In Rwanda, after four years of unsuccessful attempts to get it off the ground, the government is abandoning its $35 million biodiesel project.

Poor science behind the feasibility studies that expected jatropha to be a key feedstock but later was determined to not be viable in the country's climate is blamed for the project's failure.

The government has tried to auction off equipment such as a biodiesel-fueled bus but no buyers have been found. Potential use of the facility as an R&D site have also been floated but not yet decided upon.

[haguruka.com] Re: Biofuels Ruanda

Thanks Theo for sharing such an interesting the document on Rwanda's biofuels.

It is revolting to hear that the conclusions from such a 2011 comprehensive scientific study titled " The potential of sustainable liquid biofuel production in Rwanda: A study on the agricultural, technical and economic conditions and food security" have landed on a deaf ear for more than 5 years during which taxpayers money continued to be squandered by the Rwandan government at an overwhelming pace while extreme poverty and famine continue to aflict most of the Rwandan people.

Here are some excerpts of such conclusions:

[...]

The agricultural system analysis showed that despite current efforts by the Rwandan Government to improve agricultural production, current farming systems would not be profitable for the cultivation of plants such as castor, jatropha, moringa or sunflowers as the potential feedstock for biofuel production. Only bioethanol production from cassava and sugarcane, or the use of eucalyptus plantations for woodfuel would be profitable at present. Eucalyptus is actually the only profitable crop for use on marginal land. Moringa and jatropha would be profitable in intensified cropping systems, while castor would remain unprofitable. However, Rwanda still has to go a long way to achieve agricultural intensification. The adoption and application of modern production techniques needs to be accompanied by social and economic measures. The effective participation of farmers, especially in the current processes of crop regionalisation and land use consolidation, remains an indispensable condition for the social and economic sustainability of agricultural development. Considering that the area under cultivation for food crops was only 0.08 ha per capita in 2008, it is difficult to find available land for new cropping systems. Integrated farming systems could be an option for Rwanda to produce biofuel crops without using any additional agricultural land. Energy crops such as jatropha, castor and moringa can be produced without compromising food production. Indeed, they could even help to protect soil against erosion and crops against damage caused by animals.

The GAPP and GIS based potentials analysis revealed that no surplus land is available for energy crop cultivation at the moment, and that this is likely to remain the case in the future. This is due to the increasing food consumption and population growth, and the limited potential to extend the agricultural area. Increased productivity could help to meet the future food demand. Assuming that at least moderate increases in productivity (one per cent annually) are realised, the demand for additional areas to cultivate staple crops would fall slightly, but still remain high.

There could be potential to produce 25,000 t p.a. of vegetable oil from integrated systems for biofuel production. However, accessing this potential is uncertain. The potential on marginal land is currently not quantifiable, but assuming that three per cent of the existing agricultural land is classified as marginal, the potential is low. The possible yield (c. 6,000 t p.a.) is low and the accessibility doubtful.

This study therefore concludes that the cultivation of energy crops in plantations on marginal land is not an option for Rwanda. For jatropha cultivated in integrated systems or grown on marginal land, the potential can only be tapped if the following key questions are answered:

-Is jatropha accepted as a crop?
-What is the yield of jatropha if cultivated on marginal land?
-Are there definitely no uses that compete with jatropha cultivation?

Kagame-Blair US$250
Million Phantom Project Is Dead & Buried

File photo
It
was a dream project cementing Kagame-Blair partnership and
personal friendship. The deal was signed in Kigali in
November 2009 – with former British Prime Minister Tony
Blair personally witnessing the event. And it was, at the
the time, the biggest investment in Rwanda ever – US$250
million – to enable Rwanda to produce 20 million litres of
biofuel annually from jatropha plants. And two companies –
the UK-based Eco Positive Ltd and Eco-fuel Global LLC from
the United States – would make this happen. Blair had
brought his friend Kagame a game-changing investment.
Kagame and Blair were very happy. Why not? This
project aimed to achieve no less than six objectives:
Increased fuel security and reduced oil
imports;
Food security through production of
fertilizer as a by-product of the biofuel and increased
agricultural yields through intercropping;
Direct employment of 6,500 jobs;
Promote a more environmentally-friendly
transport;
Use marginal and unproductive
10,000 hectares not suitable for agriculture to grow
jatropha;
Turn Rwanda into the regional
powerhouse for biofuels.
This is how the
project was announced on November 23, 2009:
"Eco-Fuel Global this week entered a
groundbreaking agreement with the Government of Rwanda
estimated to be worth in excess of $250m; to produce
bio-fuels from Jatropha Curcas…The signing ceremony held
at the Rwanda Development Board (RDB) head office was
witnessed by the former British Prime Minister Rt. Hon. Tony
Blair, whose office supports this project."
Nicknamed Kagame's cheerleader-in-chief,
Blair became the champion of the US$250 million deal. Kagame
readily threw his fellow Rwandans under the bus – he
provided 10,000 hectares in a country where the population
density (people per sq. km of land area) is 471. That is how
Eco Positive (Rwanda) Ltd was born.

So what became of this mega US$250 million
investment? Where is Eco Positive Rwanda now, and where is
its biofuels? How much has the biofuel reduced oil imports
in Rwanda? And where are the 6,500 jobs?
Fast-forward to June 23, 2014 – this is the
date when the directors of Eco Positive Rwanda filed for
bankruptcy in the U.K. as shown in "Striking off
application by a company" attached here.

The company was dissolved
later in the year on October 28, 2014 as indicated by the
company registrar in the U.K.

We can't know for sure what happened between
2009 and 2014 when Eco Positive Rwanda collapsed. Rwanda
parliament is dead and therefore cannot hold Kagame
accountable. In this unpredictable environment, many
investors go to Rwanda believing that it is a good place to
invest. They get a nasty shock – some mysteriously lose
their businesses. Others are illegally seized. For greater
detail about the real investment climate in Rwanda see my
book, Kagame's Economic Mirage.
Somewhere
along the way, the whole thing fell apart. The Eco Positive
left, and Rwanda went on its own. The then Scientific and
Technological Research Institute (later changed to National
Industrial Research and Development Agency), continued with
the biofuel idea. Its own pilot plant for biofuel mass
production soon led to a diesel station project and a bus
run on clean energy – all of which came to a dead end.
The East African has recently brought us to
date, even though its account avoids talking about the
US$250 million Blair-Kagame phantom investment. The
newspaper restricts itself to the National Industrial
Research and Development Agency's biofuel pilot plant as
follows:
"Taxpayers are losing unknown
amounts of money in non-operational industrial equipment of
the biodiesel production project whose fate still hangs in
the balance four years later. More than $35 million was
initially invested in setting up the pilot plant for biofuel
mass production plant, a diesel station and a bus, but these
facilities have not been put to use in a long time…While
projections showed the country had potential to grow a
significant amount of bio-crops like Jatropha to sustain
production,…it was later discovered that the climate is
not suitable for the crops needed."
Can
you believe this? How is possible that, after all these
years, the Rwandan regime discovered that the country's
climate is not suitable for jatropha? Can Kagame explain
this loss of taxpayers' money running into millions of
dollars? Did Blair who championed the US$250 million phantom
investment acknowledge his role? Honestly, when will the
Rwandan nightmare under the rule of strongman Kagame end?

-“The root cause of the Rwandan tragedy of 1994 is the long and past historical ethnic dominance of one minority ethnic group to the other majority ethnic group. Ignoring this reality is giving a black cheque for the Rwandan people’s future and deepening resentment, hostility and hatred between the two groups.”
