Green Diesel origin from Liberia
We Want To Start Decarbonizing Liberia Today!
Our vision is to establish an energy producer that will help lead Liberia’s energy transition to an energy independent and carbon neutral future.
Liberia's prosperity depends largely on its energy independence and its role as a producer and future exporter of renewable energy.
With its vast natural resources such as solar, hydro, wind and land, Liberia can generate sufficient renewable energy to become self-sufficient and power its own growth with renewable energy. It must succeed in skipping the fossil fuel industry and moving directly to a decentralized, low-carbon production model.
Energy is the key to economic growth, and affordable, low-carbon, renewable fuels and energy will accelerate economic development across the continent.
GPD Biodiesel is designed to serve as an alternative fuel, complementing the existing diesel market in Liberia. While it is a more equal replacement for conventional fossil diesel, we aim to introduce it on a small scale and gradually expand its adoption. As a transitional fuel, it immediately reduces CO² emissions by up to 80%, without requiring modifications to current engine technology. We encourage consumers to explore the benefits of biodiesel and join us in fostering a more sustainable future."
Biodiesel, A Climate Saver
The CO² situation in Liberia
Like many developing nations, Liberia faces rising energy costs, heavy dependence on imported petroleum, and environmental challenges due to deforestation and from improper waste management. Despite being a leading producer of palm oil and having significant untapped agricultural resources, waste from used palm oil and agricultural by-products is often discarded or mismanaged. Climate change impacts, like rising sea levels and extreme weather, put Liberia’s agriculture and infrastructure at risk.
This project aims to address energy insecurity, environmental pollution, and economic dependence by establishing a GREEN POWER DIESEL biodiesel production facility that converts used cooking oil, old palm oil, and other agricultural residues as well as regular palm oil into biodiesel. This will contribute to Liberia’s sustainable energy goals, reduce reliance on imported fuels, also contribute to answering to global calling to reduce greenhouse gas emission by 40% to 30% between 2030 to 2050, and create green jobs.
The just concluded COP29 conference in Baku, Ezabedjan , emphasized the urgency of stronger climate actions, with mixed progress on emissions reductions and finance. For Liberia, a least-developed country (LDC), this project will align its strategies with the conference outcomes.
