Elaboration: GV Agro Source: BPStatisticalReview of World Energy
Tropical Belt: Favorable for biofuels and food production.
Tropical Belt: The majority of countries that face fuel and food
shortages are located in this specific region.
Motivation for bioenergy and food projects
in the Tropical Belt
Technical CooperationAgreement Between:
Technical cooperationagreement between the European Union and Brazil, for a feasibility
study to produce biofuel and food in Mozambique.
The projects were financed by the following entities:
Context
Environmental
Agricultural
Cooperation Agreement
Results: 12 countries have received the feasibility studies of bioenergy project development:
ethanol, biodiesel, electricity, steam and food projects.
Brazil-USA technical cooperation agreement to develop bioenergy in countries in the tropical
belt.
