Political asset Ghana: stable democracy (first democratic republic of
Africa);
Most oil production dedicated to provide edible palm oil for local
food market;
Most of national palm oil production realized with traditional
agriculture techniques ;
Few big producers and hundreds of small farmers;
Jatrofa production limited to 1.000 hectares and some green houses;

Cutting and cleaning Palm Fruits with machete: injuries high risk;
Boiling oil transport: on the head without any particular safety measure;
Operational machine without any moving parts coverage;
Free flame combustion;
In big plantation
Risk of deforestation;
Risk of small value transfer to local people;
Progressive substitution of food application with energy application;

Prevent deforestation process;
Leave added value to local people with particular
attention on social infrastructures like schools,
hospitals, electricity, etc.;
Balance the ratio between food and energy
application;
Protect employees rights against black seasonal work;
Increase job: almost 1 new job out of 10 hectares
property;

Most of the effluent are pumped avoiding
direct contact between workers and fluids
at high temperatures;
Within August 2010 (plant completion):
All Piping thermally insulated to avoid
thermal dispersion and accidental contact
with hot piping ;
Every area well indicated and protected
from accidental falls;
GENSET in order to guarantee a 24 hours
production;

A 30% of palm oil production reserved for
edible oil production for local use;
Part of the revenues got from the oil production
are dedicated to support social infrastructure
(school, hospitals, etc.) built by local religious
entities;
Development of new palm plantation planned
in order to avoid any deforestation process;
Development of new jatrofa plantation
combined with intercrops production
and honey production;
Protect local workers
from work injuries
and black work;
