project is projected to cost Sh32.41 billion ($213 million) with the World Bank’s private sector lending arm promising to help mobilise an additional Sh11.41 billion ($75 million) from other lenders. 
Eni has initiated a biofuel project in Kenya that involves the contractual engagement of third-party farmers and aggregators to supply oil seeds (feedstock) to Eni-owned agri-processing plants in Makueni and Kwale counties. Eni Kenya’s third agri-processing plant is planned for construction in Nakuru county and a fourth at a location yet to be determined.
In the strategy by Eni Kenya, the seeds will be processed to produce vegetable oils for export to Eni bio-refineries in Italy and further refined into different bio-energy products (biofuels).
