Introducing: Connecting-the-Dots™ of a New Agricultural Economy
DalinYebo's GreenEnergyPark™ will contribute to Africa's food security and create permanent rural jobs, because these small economic hubs are located in the centres of agricultural areas and its profits will flow back to the farming community. The anchor tenants of the GreenEnergyPark™ are a furfural biorefinery and an electricity co-generation plant, which will provide off-grid power to other tenants, such as micro maize millers (or to the surrounding villages). Furfural biorefineries have been operating since 1922 (e.g in the USA or China). Since 2001, our technology provider, International Furan Technology (Pty) Ltd (IFT), has modernised these old process and made them more energy efficient.
Non-food biomass will be procured locally. Such feedstock could be the residues of the food-chain, like corncobs, oat hulls, rice hulls, sunflower husks, cotton seed hulls, sugarcane bagasse or could be forestry residues. Alternative feedstock available are energy crops (e.g. sweet sorghum) that have been selected for their suitability to grow in less fertile areas or as in-fill crops for current sugar plantations.
Biorefineries will be the biggest short-term contributor to the growth of socioeconomic benefits and a green economy.
From Concept to Commissioning
DalinYebo has solid technical expertise in the bio-renewables space. Its engineers, scientists and project professionals have been involved in the chemical industry (furfural/sugar, ethanol, pulp & paper, etc.) and in electricity generation from direct combustion (i.e. steam generation/steam turbine projects in the sugar and pulp and paper industry).

.. provide consulting and mentoring services for the development of the next generation furfural biorefinery.
Such a biorefinery is a first step in building a biobased chemicals and plastics business (e.g. KZN Biobased Chemical Cluster). These biorefineries could also be used as a platform for the manufacture of a range of cellulosic fuels. The images at the end of this page link to a selection of articles that illustrate the versatility and vast potential that exists in this business.
