We take that role and the responsibilities it brings very seriously, including care for the environment, our people and communities, whilst maintaining vital energy security for Kenya and beyond
There is an increasing interest worldwide in the development of biofuels that has led to a surge in demand for biodiesel in the past few years in both developed and developing countries Kenya included. • This has been caused by:
– a reduction in government duties on biofuels- increases in the percentage requirements for biodiesel blend (for CO2
emission reduction)
– the overall support for renewable energy sources and – the reduction in pollution
• Current research data shows that, it is possible to obtain biodiesel from virtually any locally available oliferous vegetation including:
rape seeds, soya beans, sunflower, peanut, cotton, avocado, Melia volkensii, Croton megalocarpas, Jatropha curcas, Castor seeds (Riccinus communis L.), Coconut and Palm and even animal fats • It may also be made from waste vegetable oils and fats from fish, chips or fried chicken
Kenya and East Africa at large does not have any known reserves for fossil
fuels and therefore imports all liquid fuels.
There is need therefore, for research and exploitation of this existing renewable energy considering the fact that:
• In 2005, 7.4% of Kenyan GDP was spent in importation of petroleum products
This was over 25% of our foreign exchange earnings
Diesel makes up 60% of the total oil imported into the countr

A.Juss commonly known as Yellow Oleander is a potential multipurpose oil crop for bioenergy, feeds, vegetable oil and pharmaceuticals production suitable for arid to semi-arid regions (ASAL’s) and marginal agricultural lands of sub Saharan regions of Africa.
So far, one stage of Y. Oleander seed oil development has been the de hulling exercise which has been manual. However, recently we fabricated one and now in use to replace manual de-hulling method
