Congo Basin Pellets putting Africa on the (World of Pellets) map

For all its biomass resources, Africa has pretty much remained a blind spot when it comes to wood pellet plants, in particular “large” such plants. Not from a lack of trying over the years it should be said. However, this could change with Congo Basin Pellets GmbH, the most recent entrant to make an earnest attempt as Bioenergy International finds out.

A milestone moment for Chris Fodor (centre) and Congo Basin Pellets occurred on April 29, 2021, with pellets from the very first successful production run at the Nkok plant (photo courtesy Chris Fodor).

As it transpires, Congo Basin Pellets (CBP) is an aptly named new starter in the biomass pellets field. No doubt there will be those that find the name extremely provocative – reading it as an intention to convert the world’s second-largest rainforest, the “Green Heart of Africa”, into fuel. Rest assured, it is not.  Instead, it is all about transport, logistics and the use of existing unused waste wood resources as founder and owner Chris Fodor explains.

 AgroBioHeat  project aims to produce a mass deployment of improved and market ready agrobiomass heating solutions in Europe. Agrobiomass is a large, underexploited and indigenous resource, which can support the achievement of the European Energy and Climate targets, while promoting rural development and circular economy.

Actions will be mainly located in 6 European countries (EL, ES, FR, RO, HR and UA; 5 EU-28+Ukraine) where an extensive national movement is intended to be created by the engagement, alignment of interests and creation of policy, financial and social conditions favouring the expansion of agrobiomass heating; at the EU level, specific policy recommendations regarding the efficiency and emissions of agrobiomass heating solutions will be passed on to relevant bodies for the development of new regulations.
