Mozambique will produce biofuel from coconuts
Mozambique LNG is preparing to produce coconut-based biodiesel in Palma, Cabo Delgado, where thousands of Mozambican farmers are participating in a large-scale agro-industrial coconut cultivation program.
The programme has already moved from plan into the field. A seedling nursery is running in Palma, and the planting schedule ramps from roughly 110,000 seedlings in 2025 to 126,000 in 2026 and 205,000 in 2027 — about 440,000 new palms, alongside some 200,000 existing trees.
In the first phase, Mozambique LNG plans to produce approximately 5,000 tons of biodiesel per year for domestic consumption, replacing imported diesel fuel. The second stage plans to increase production and establish export supplies of biofuels.
