When should Rwandans expect to see a biodiesel powered public transport bus on the road?
The Institute of Scientific and Technological Research and the University of Bujumbura have signed a memorandum of understanding where students and professors from the University and other Universities in Rwanda and Uganda will start working on data collection when the bus begins operation. There is a set of data that we need to collect which will be useful to our private sector who want to invest in biodiesel industry. Your parting shot We are grateful to government for the support in buying these biodiesel processors, building laboratories; it is encouraging for scientists. We are happy to do our research and contribute to the development of this Country. With government’s support, we are building a three storey central laboratory complex that is estimated to cost about Rwf850million. This is a strong boost to our research efforts.
