Bio-watt Botswana

Affordable clean charcoal from organic biomass
2021 SEED Climate Adaptation Award Clean Energy Gaborone, Botswana

Bio-watt Botswana generates revenue from the sales of clean biomass charcoal that is made from organic material such as cow dung and other organic waste material. The raw material is then carbonised in a furnace equipped with smoke capture technology.

Raw materials are collected by a company van from different areas and delivered to the factory where they are dried and put into the carbonised machine. The finished charcoal is then packaged and distributed to the market.
