Looking at the agricultural demographics of Belize, it makes sense to install the KDV waste-to-fuel machine in the north, near to Corozal Town which is about 9 miles from the border of Mexico. The surrounding area has the heaviest concentration of sugar cane production in all of Belize.

The land that Leonardo has available for the pad is just a stone’s throw from Corozal Town (which has a beautiful Caribbean waterfront and is quite popular with the tourist trade – but hasn’t been spoiled). And where there is farming, there is a need for diesel to fuel the tractors and other machinery required for production and harvesting the cane.

Upon further investigation, the combined monthly sales of the fuel stations in Corozal Town are less than one KDV 500 can produce per month. This could, indeed, cause a little competition in the marketplace. Purchasing and using fuel from organic waste versus fuel from major oil companies at the same or lower price, from which would you choose? From my biased perspective, I hope that the choice is obvious.

So, what happens when you improve sugar cane production and the refinery has excess capacity to utilize the extra cane? Next.
