The Board, Managment and Staff of Sunbird Bioenergy Zambia join the nation in congratulating the President His Excellency, Mr. Hakainde Hichilema and Vice President Her Honour, Mrs. Mutale Nalumango, on their inauguration to the office of President and Vice President of Zambia.
Sunbird Bioenergy Zambia remains committed to complete our large scale renewable fuel and power project to serve the people of Zambia.
Our bioenergy project in Kawambwa is a strategic project for Zambia that will produce 20% of the country’s petroleum in a cassava-to-bioethanol biorefinery. At full operating capacity, it will produce:
120 million litres of bioethanol per annum
32 MW of renewable power
The project has been designed to be a benchmark for sustainable investment in Africa and will deliver on many of the UN Sustainable Development Goals (or “SDGs”). The benefits for the country include:
20,000 economic opportunities for cassava out-growers
500 jobs at the biorefinery
$100 million import substitution of petroleum products
Reduce greenhouse gas emissions
Deliver energy security
"We look forwarding to contributing to HH's economic and environmental development agenda and serving the people of Zambia. As we approach COP26, our project in Kawamwba demonstrates to the world how bioenergy can both reduce greenhouse gas emissions and create substantial benefits including reducing fuel prices, import substitution and economic opportunities in rural communities" Richard Bennett, CEO.
