  • 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.
  • What does Kenya's bio-refinery initiative mean for Africa?
  • The initiative in Kenya represents the first integrated project in the world to bring Africa into the vertical bio-refinery supply chain by providing income opportunities and market access to thousands of farmers in degraded areas.
  • 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.
  • Where is Eni's first cargo of vegetable oil going?
  • San Donato Milanese (MI), 11 October 2022 ¨C The first cargo of vegetable oil for biorefining produced by Eni in Kenya has left the port of Mombasa, on its way to Gela¡¯s biorefinery.
  • Can oil and protein extracts be recovered from corn germ?
  • Oil and proteins were successfully recovered from corn germ by a biorefinery scheme. Oil extraction yield and TPC of oils were influenced by the polarity of solvents. The protein content of recovered extracts ranged from 20 to 48%. The functionality of protein extracts depended on the defatting pretreatment.
  • How to extract oil from corn germ during flour processing?
  • This work aimed the recovery of oil and protein fractions from corn germ (CG) generated as a by-product during flour processing. Several oil extraction techniques were investigated: hexane at room temperature, hexane at 45 °C, supercritical carbon dioxide (Sc-CO 2) and Soxhlet with hexane and ethanol.
