Addax Bioenergy services

Sierra Leone is a tropical country with abundant rainfall of about 2’500mm per year. The project is irrigated by the Rokel River near Makeni and will use just 2% of the annual rainfall flowing through the river. A hydroelectric dam built by the Italian government and put in operation in 2009 maintains the flow of water throughout the year and avoids any downstream impacts of the project.

Addax Bioenergy’s project in Sierra Leone is bringing concrete, lasting and sustainable development to one of the poorest areas of Africa. Hundreds of people in Makeni have already seen their livelihoods improved in the form of jobs, social services, health services and clean drinking water, to mention just a few benefits, while local authorities have also seen their incomes increase substantially.
