Markets

Liberian Market

Liberia is dependent on petroleum products for about 80% of its energy needs with the transportation and electricity sectors driving the demand. The country spends, on average, between 60% - 80% of its export earnings on petroleum products at a time when foreign exchange earnings are in demand for other economic development objectives.

Our production levels are targeted to meet a need that exists in Liberia. The users of Biodiesel are trucks and power generators. We will export fuel to countries in the sub-region, to the US and to European countries as we expand production in excess of domestic Liberian demand.

Economic Benefits

The economic benefits using renewable energy versus fossil fuel based energy generation is huge for a target market with very scarce financial resources. Given this market size, being the first mover with these products presents great opportunities for growth and branding as well as environmental awareness. Capturing and establishing significant market share will enable us to build capacity and scale operations throughout the sub-region. Also establishing a strong presence will give AEI the opportunity to be the partner of choice for international organizations, involved in Green investments, to promote the use of alternative energy products and adoption.
