electricity to help power mobile phone networks across Africa under a plan to
replace fossil fuels with sustainable biofuels made from crops grown by local
farmers.
Swedish telecoms networks group Ericsson and South African cellphone
operator MTN said on Wednesday they want to start replacing diesel with biofuels
in electricity generating stations powering mobile phone base stations in rural
Africa.
