Is Biofuel the missing piece of Jamaica’s energy future?

While Jamaica has made significant strides in solar and wind energy, biofuels remain an underutilized resource with tremendous potential to strengthen energy security, reduce dependence on imported fuel, and support our climate goals.

The SRC is helping to close this gap through research, technology development, and practical solutions, including anaerobic digesters, biomethane assessments, and biodiesel feedstock evaluation.

With the right investments and partnerships, biofuels can help power a more resilient, sustainable Jamaica.
