Reducing reliance on fuel wood and charcoal with a sustainable alternative to LPG
Clean Energy
Nairobi
Kenya

Bioafriq Energy aims to create awareness and promote the use of renewable cooking fuel through its revolutionary technology which offers a green alternative to LPG. The enterprise recycles biowaste such as coffee husks, rice husks, straw, sisal boles and agro-residue which form land-fills that emit methane gas into affordable biomass fuels. Bioafriq Energy targets catering and learning institutions most of which use either LPG, Charcoal or Wood as their main fuel. To ensure their targeted customers realise full benefits of their green energy, the enterprise has partnered with a supplier of institutional gasifier stoves that have automated pellet feeding mechanism, temperature and flame regulation control making them similar to LPG stoves. This clean energy produced by Bioafriq Energy is accompanied with this smokeless stove.
