Togo Launches Semi-Industrial Red Oil Plant in Yoto 2 commune

(Togo First) - A semi-industrial plant for producing red oil and palm kernel oil is being built in Tchékpo Dédékpoè, a town of the Yoto 2 municipality (70 km from Lomé). The project officially began on November 5, 2024, according to Agence Togolaise de Presse, a local media.

The plant is the fruit of a partnership between Yoto 2 and Morocco. This project is funded through the Fonds Africain d'Appui à la Coopération Décentralisée Internationale (FACDI), as part of a strategic partnership with Tangier. The construction is expected to take three months.

The new plant will feature a mini-solar power facility, a methanizer, and an integrated production system capable of initially producing 500 liters of oil per day, with potential for expansion based on local demand. The region is well-suited for growing red palm.

The facility aims to utilize renewable energy and biogas, contributing to a reduction in carbon emissions and enhancing the region's energy resilience. It will help boost local resources, create jobs, and stimulate the economy. 

The project aligns with Yoto 2's Communal Development Plan (PDC) and Climate-Energy Plan, emphasizing sustainable development.
