Rouge, LA – E-fuels enthusiasts gathered at SU Ag Center for an

September 26, members of Green Solar Louisiana, 360 Systems, E-Fuel System
Technology and members of University of Bagamoyo held a virtual collaboration
planning meeting on the SU Ag Center campus.

best approach to introduce the University of Bagamoyo in Tanzania to 100%
