A Portugal-based biodiesel technology provider has signed a deal with a Tunisia-based energy company to install an ultrasonic biodiesel plant with a production capacity of 8,000 metric tons per year.
The partnership between Incbio and Biokast Energy S.A. aims to build a biofuel facility in Tunis that will produce high quality biodiesel from used cooking oil to be supplied by local restaurants. Biokast Energy was established with the purpose of collecting and processing used cooking oil into biodiesel. The project will help significantly in waste oil recycling initiatives in Tunis. Further projects will be planned in other cities throughout Tunisia.
