Gota Verde is a biofuel project with a difference.

- Its products cannot be found in the ports of Rotterdam and Miami, but in the irrigation pumps, tractors, agro-industrial equipment and vehicles used locally in Yoro.

- Its feedstock does not come from monoculture plantations of several hundreds of hectares of monocultures, but from hundreds of small plantations and live fences, managed by small and medium-sized farmers and their families.  

- The owners of the processing enterprise are no anonymous overseas shareholders, but the very local farmers that cultivate their lands.

The objective of the Gota Verde project is to demonstrate that biofuel production on a small scale for local use is an economically and technically feasible activity.

The project had a duration period of three years (2007-2009), during which specific activities have been implemented by a consortium of 6 European organizations, in collaboration with several local partners. The overall coordination of the project was in the hands of the STRO Foundation from The Netherlands.

In January 2010, the project entered its second phase which is implemented by the Honduran Foundation for Rural Enterprise development (FUNDER: www.funder.hn).
