The activities of the fishermen communities are seriously affected as well as the production of hydropower, the navigation and the tourism. Fortunately the water hyacinth turns out to be a plant with a potential for the development of various transformed products. In Benin, Green Keeper Africa exploits its absorption capacity to produce a fiber intended for the cleanup of industrial sites (hydrocarbons, acids, dyes, etc.) and its composition for the development of sectors such green fertilizer, animal food and sustainable energy (biogas, bioethanol). In the GKA biorefinery system, the water hyacinth becomes the raw material that will contribute in scaling down the environmental and social impact at the origin while creating industrial and trade opportunities. The company put together by the three partners with additional technical and financial support coming from SENS-Benin.
