Testimonial
“The GSMA’s grant enabled the trial of a promising high-risk new technology. This proved to be an extremely ambitious goal for a 12-month project because EBI tried to solve technological, operational and business challenges all at once. Nonetheless, the trial led to important learnings, including the need for a high level of on-ground technical expertise, existing barriers in the fertiliser market and infrastructural challenges in generating electricity from biomass.” – GSMA, 2015.
