Novozymes Pioneers Food-Energy Venture in Africa

摘要

Novozymes and environmental venture group CleanStar Ventures are jointly establishing an integrated food-energy business in Mozambique that will replace thousands of charcoal-burning cookstoves with cleaner ethanol stoves. According to Novozymes in a September 21 statement, in addition to safeguarding lives from dangerous charcoal smoke, the business is intended to increase farmers’ incomes by up to 500%, save thousands of acres of forest every year, and dramatically reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
