Addax Bioenergy

Addax Bioenergy is a sugarcane-based renewable energy company that has launched a sustainable bioenergy project in Sierra Leone. A subsidiary of AOG, we initiated the project in Makeni in 2008 and it started its operations in 2014. We will produce sustainable bio-ethanol from sugarcane for export and for domestic use, as well as ‘green’ electricity from a biomass-fuelled plant that will power the ethanol refinery and supply approximately 20 per cent of the needs of the Sierra Leone national grid. Sugarcane is widely recognised as the most efficient and sustainable crop for biofuel production; and, with its suitable land, tropical climate and development ambitions, Sierra Leone offers favourable conditions for the initiative.
