Innovation: sweet diesel deal

Dubai The Equilibre Group in Dubai says it is finalising a proposal for an industrial project in Mauritius which would involve deployment of a new waste-conversion technology.

It's said to be a first of its kind in the island state.

The industrial process developed and patented by Germany's Alphakat coverts organic material into synthetic green diesel using "KDV" technology.

The proposed plant in Mauritius would have an annual capacity for 30,000 tonnes of diesel converted from sugar cane "bagasse".

Future expansion could double this to 60,000 tonnes.

By getting the project on stream, likely by 2013, the Mauritius government's intention is to cut future diesel fuel imports by as much as 40 per cent.

"In its initial phase, the plant will require a minimum annual bagasse feedstock of 130,000 tonnes," said Laurent de Morelos of Equilibre. "During the plant second development phase, the requirement will jump to 260,000 tonnes a year."

The promoters said they were looking to have Phase One of the project delivered in 2012 and the second the year after.
