Who We Are

About Us

Conservation of the Environment and reforestation
The main reason for this project and business is to ultimately conserve the environment as statistics show that for every 1 tonne of bagasse recycled into briquettes around 13 mature trees are saved from being cut for firewood or charcoal saves around 13 production.

Conversion to renewable energy
Briquettes are more sustainable and more energy-efficient and could reduce the pressure on forests and lower pollution levels in urban areas, that is, if more people start using them. Research found that use of slow burning charcoal dust and soil briquettes reduced household cooking energy expenditure by 70 percent if families produced their own, and 30 percent if they purchased briquettes from other sources.

Women Empowerment
Through harnessing on the skills and expertise of women in the renewable energy sector, as a company, we aim to economically empower women through working with various women groups in the production and sales of both domestic and industrial briquettes.

Why We Stand Out

Quality: The best briquettes, tested and tried.

Odorless and Smokeless: Our charcoal is odorless and smokeless. Minimal carbon content through the process of carbonation.

Efficiency: Efficiently supply raw materials to the women groups we are working with and also
ensuring that demand is met.

High Calorific Value: Though the formulation and special binders that we use, our product produce higher levels of heat compared to traditional charcoal.

Affordable: You will only need to use small quantities to cook your meals, long burning time.

Conserve Energy: Especially when used with energy savers stoves / jikos

Did you know? We strive to reduce cutting of trees specifically for firewood and charcoal as statistics show that a tonne
of bio-waste saves about 13 trees
