President Yoweri Museveni commissioned PRO Industries, the largest ethanol and extra-neutral alcohol (ENA) plant in East Africa, in Luwero District, Uganda. The $100 million facility produces 120,000 liters of ENA and 35,000 liters of ethanol per day and works with more than 20,000 local maize farmers. The plant supports Uganda’s ethanol blending policy starting in 2026, aims to reduce the $2 billion annual fuel import bill, create jobs, and promote clean energy.
