Project Appraisal and Risk Analysis of Biodiesel Expressing and Refinery Plant in Africa

ABSTRACT: Day by day environmentally clean and less harmful sources of diesel fuel for conventional engines are becoming more and more popular because of global warming problems, high level of pollution of the atmosphere created by devices and increased expansion of human diseases. There are various sources of such non harmful diesel fuels, like ethanol and biodiesel which can be obtained from diverse vegetable oils and animal fats. In this research I am going to investigate how beneficial the production of biodiesel from the sunflower seeds by using case study. The project’s validity and profitability will be analyzed based on the Investment Appraisal and Risk Analysis tools. The major conclusions and recommendations regarding the project will be given by relying on the project appraisal results. Keywords: Biofuel, biodiesel, biodiesel plant, project appraisal, risk analysis. ……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
