Porto, Portugal and Accra, Ghana – January 10th, 2024: IncBio, a leader in biodiesel technology and engineering, has secured a contract with Springbok Global Limited to design and build an 80,000-ton per year biodiesel plant in Ghana. This new facility will use IncBio’s advanced MSA technology, allowing it to convert a wide range of feedstocks, including used cooking oil (UCO), palm fatty acid distillate (PFAD), and animal fats, into high-quality biodiesel that exceeds EN14214 standards.
The plant will be constructed with skidded modules, which are fully assembled at IncBio’s facility and then shipped to Ghana. This modular construction reduces installation time and complexity, ensuring a smooth, efficient setup that mirrors the simplicity of Lego-style assembly.
The MSA technology at the heart of the plant is designed to deliver high yields while reducing operational costs. By employing ultrasonic reactors, the plant will achieve rapid conversion rates and optimize the use of methanol and catalysts, leading to lower production costs and high operational efficiency.
José Marques, CEO of IncBio, stated: “This project with Springbok Global represents a significant step in expanding renewable energy capabilities in Ghana. Our MSA technology is designed to maximize flexibility and efficiency, making it ideal for biodiesel production from multiple feedstocks.”
With completion expected by the end of 2025, this plant will support Ghana’s efforts to produce sustainable fuel locally, reducing dependence on imported fuels and contributing to the global transition to renewable energy.
