  1. Salvation for Sudan Using genetically engineered microorganisms to alleviate Sudan’s energy crisis

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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

  5. 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.

  6. 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.

  10. Top ten sunniest countries in the world

  11. Wadi Haifa, Dongola and Atbara

  12. Nile River and Lake Nasser Potential non-potable water source

  13. Waste CO2 Pipeline Current Sudanese oil pipeline gas 156 km; oil 4,070 km; refined products 1,613 k

  14. Monetary Benefit • Barrel of Crude Oil -- $98.34 • 15,000,000 / 42 = 357,142 Barrels of oil • 357,142 X $98.34= • $35,121,344 • Barrel of Biofuel -- $20 • 357,142 X 20= • $7,142,840 • A Difference of $27,978,504

  15. Social Benefit • Strengthen Educational Programs • Reduce Poverty • Promote Healthcare • Contribute to the Global Economy
