Strategy

Principle Energy has put in place all the necessary foundations for a successful global ethanol business based in Africa.


  • Principle Energy has completed thorough feasibility studies for sugar cane ethanol production in southern Africa. To this end it has allied with leading technical and management partners, including Bosch Projects and Agri-IQ.
  • Principle Energy has carefully studied the trade opportunities for supplying ethanol to the European, North American and other international markets. As a Principle Capital group company, it has access to the broad resources of a successful international investment management business.
  • Principle Energy is looking for sites of operation with optimal sugar cane-growing and ethanol-transport logistics. Its collaborations with global leaders in agriculture and energy businesses ensure it has a solid understanding of the intricacies involved in large-scale ethanol production.
  • Principle Energy will produce its own sugar cane feedstocks and train and empower its own human resources. It will establish training and healthcare facilities to support the communities in which its projects reside - all part of the vertical integration that will allow it to manage effectively the complexities of a global-scale renewable energy venture.
  • Principle Energy has raised the initial financial commitments required for its first major project and continues to attract investors' interest.
