  • Which African country has a biorefinery based on vegetable oil?
  • Kenya is the first African country in which we have built an oilseed pressing plant for the extraction of vegetable oil for the production of biofuel. Located in Wote, Makueni County, the centre, also known as an agri-hub, has a capacity of 15,000 tons per year and, since 2022, has been supplying the Eni biorefinery in Gela.
  • Is Eni launching a bio-refinery in Kenya?
  • NAIROBI, Kenya July 18 ¨C Italian multinational oil and gas company, Eni has commenced production of the first Kenyan vegetable oil for bio-refineries at its oilseed collection and pressing plant in Makueni. The agrihub will have an installed capacity of 15,000 tons with an expected production of 2,500 tons in 2022.
  • Where is vegetable oil produced?
  • The vegetable oil is produced in the Makueni agri-hub, the pressing plant opened by the company in July 2022 and that actually processes castor, croton and cotton seeds.

  • Why is Makueni Agri-hub launching the export of vegetable oil?
  • ¡°Just three months after the start-up of the Makueni agri-hub, we are launching the export of the vegetable oil for the biorefineries, through a vertical integration model that enables the promotion of sustainable local development while valorizing the supply chain for biofuels production.
  • What is Agri-feedstock in Kenya?
