Abellon crossed one more significant milestone in its journey, with the foundation ceremony of our first International Project - a solid biofuels manufacturing facility in Kumasi region, Ghana. Ghana, the gateway to West Africa, has around 39% forest cover and a further 37% of wood land. The timber industry generates large quantities of wood & forest residue. Kumasi region in Ghana, where our plant is located, has a large timber industry. Abellon plans to utilize the waste generated from this industry to produce wood pellets.

Gracing the occasion were our MD and CEO, Mr. Aditya Handa, President, Mr. Pankaj Patel and other key team members, as well as dignitaries including Nana Kwabena Oppong, TasheenHene, Chief of Asaago, Mr. Tony Nyame, Hon. DCE, Atwima Kwauhuma District, Mr. Stephen Djaba, our Business Associate and other Government oficials.

The project is likely to be commissioned by March 2012. Also on the anvil is a large-scale agro forestry project focusing on plantation of Bamboo and other crops.
