TABJ July 28 - The Kenyan government is moving to boost energy supply by
promoting commercial production of biofuel, despite rising concern over its
impact on food security.
Kenya will work with Brazilian experts to improve local sugar firms ethanol
production and in producing large biofuel manufacturing units in a campaign
aimed at reducing over reliance on expensive fossil fuels.
"These joint consultations and efforts will enable Kenya to tap our 85 years of
experience and expertise to discover potential in biofuel production," says the
Brazilian Foreign Affairs Minister.
