BRAZIL: October 18, 2007
BRAZZAVILLE - Brazil has signed two agreements with Congo Republic to provide the poor central African state with training, technology and financing to produce biofuel from sugar cane and palm oil.
Congolese President Denis Sassou-Nguesso told a news conference on Tuesday with Brazil's Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva that his country's oil production would dwindle within years and it was necessary to look to the future.
Lula, who travelled to South Africa on Wednesday, said Africa had plenty of land to produce biofuel and could provide a solution to the energy deficit of the world's poorest continent.
