  • 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.
  • What is Eni Agri-hub?
  • Eni said Monday it completed the construction of the oilseed collection and pressing plant (agri-hub) in Makueni, Kenya, and started production of the first vegetable oil for bio-refineries. The first agri-hub will have an installed capacity of 15,000 tons with an expected production of 2,500 tons in 2022.
  • What is Eni's Agri-Hub project?
  • The first phase of the project in Kenya includes the construction of a second agri-hub to reach a total capacity of 30,000 tons per year of vegetable oil in 2023, as well as the development of associated agricultural supply chains. The startup of the production in Kenya represents the first step in Eni¡¯s agro-industrial chain initiatives.
  • How has Eni contributed to Kenya's growth?
  • Eni has been contributing to Kenya¡¯s growth since 2013 with offshore exploration activities in the Lamu Basin. The latest shipment demonstrates the testing phase of Kenya¡¯s bid to produce aviation fuel and hydrogenated vegetable oil diesel, and reduce its dependence on fossil fuels.
