Salvation for Sudan Using genetically engineered
microorganisms to alleviate Sudan’s energy crisis
Conflict Since 1955 Sudan has been
plagued with civil wars between North and South Sudan.
This is due to cultural and religious differences that divide the country.
Aftermath Due to the war resources were
already limited. However the issue
only got worse when South Sudan
seceded from the north and now
holds 80% of the oil reserves.
The Problem The loss of the oil has shattered an oil-
dependent economy. Since their livelihood
and the country are built upon the revenue
brought in by oil.
Sudan is in desperate need of an alternative
fuel source
Proposal Sudan could greatly benefit from
microorganism-derived biofuels. Sudan’s
excess amount of large open areas makes it
the ideal location for the development of
microorganism-derived biofuel production
facilities.
Conditions Sudan receives an optimal amount
of sunlight to facilitate the photosynthesis needed for the production of these biofuels.
Creating fuel through this process has the potential to alleviate an enormous amount of poverty that is experienced in the country.
