Sustainable development and bioeconomic prosperity in Africa: Bio-fuels and the South African gateway [1]

Africa is taking the lead in creating its own biotechnology agenda, according to researchers based at South Africa's Durban University of Technology and the University of Kwazulu-Natal. They say that sugar-farming countries such as Ghana, Kenya, Malawi, South Africa and Zimbabwe are exploring large-scale production of bioethanol, while the use of alternative biofuels such as jatropha is moving ahead in Burkina Faso, Cameroon, Ghana, Lesotho, Madagascar, Malawi and South Africa.
