Pitch

Turning corncobs into chemicals and energy is the core of the GreenEnergyPark and provide the infrastructure for other enterprises (most likely, but not exclusively) in the agri-processing sector.

Green Energy Parks (GrEnPa) are small commercial developments in rural areas that convert biomass (agricultural residues) into energy, chemicals and commercial products. They’ll provide rural jobs, contribute to food security (additional farming revenue) and its goods replace fossil based products (negative CO2 Footprint!).
