South Africa may invest 2 billion rand ($261 million) in an ethanol plant that may start operating in 2014, Reuters reported, citing Roak Crew, chief executive officer of Sugar Beet RSA.
The proposed plant would initially produce 90 million liters (23.8 million gallons) of ethanol from sugar beet and sorghum, Reuters reported. Output may be increased to 200 million liters a year, it cited Crew as saying. Sugar Beet RSA is working on the project with the South African government, it said.
