MOST Ethanol is funded by Grynberg Petroleum, with Jack Grynberg as its driving force
Jack has very ambitious plans to develop a sugarcane-to-ethanol industry in the SSA
MOST has millions of acres of land under lease in more than a dozen SSA countries
The first project will be in Sierra Leone, closely followed by Niger State, Nigeria and Botswana

Sierra Leone and most SSA countries are underdeveloped, lacking industry, agricultural resources, infrastructure, and electrical power
SL currently has only about350 MW of powerproduction
A key aspect of theseprojects will be to ensurefood security for theindigenous populations
This first project will. It will produce roughly
50 million gallons ofethanol annually

Processing plant will produce about 50 MW of power beyond what it consumes, increasing the country’s power output by about 15%
We will develop detailed environmentaland social impactassessments
Ensuring food securityfor the indigenouspopulation will be atop priority of the projects
Over 2,000 full timejobs will created
Annual income will beabout $2.5 million

Additional BenefitsInfrastructure – roads and rail transport will require upgrading
to support these projectsElectrification of rural townsClean burning ethanol cook stoves will dramatically improve
the lives women Water treatment facilities necessary for the plants can be
oversized to provide clean drinking water for the local populations
