Feasibility study
We check your waste or feedstock availability, stove use, and site conditions to estimate biogas potential and the right digester size—no guesswork.

From waste to energy
Biogas, briquettes and clean cooking—built for Ugandan farms, schools, homes and industry.
We bridge the energy gap through sustainable management of organic waste—farm waste, banana waste, animal dung and more—while generating on-site briquette and biogas energy. The digestate left behind is a high-quality fertiliser for gardens and farms.

Customer-tailored from day one
It all starts with a feasibility study—your waste, feedstock and stove use decide digester size. Then we design and build for your site, not a one-size guess.
Design & quotation
Full design tailored to your location: fixed dome, portable/flexible biogas, briquette line, cookstoves, or a mixed package that fits your budget.
Build & install
Construction or supply on site—piping, testing, and safe commissioning—so the system is ready for clean cooking, lighting, or power use.
Training & after-sales
Operator training, maintenance, and ongoing after-sales support so your plant keeps performing long after handover.
Agriculture & livelihoods
Digestate slurry reduces costly synthetic fertiliser, improves soil, and supports better manure management for livestock enterprises.
Health & sanitation
Less indoor smoke, cleaner cooking, and bio-latrine linked digesters that improve school and community sanitation.
Forests & climate
Lower reliance on fuelwood gathered from natural forests—cutting deforestation pressure and wood smoke pollution.
Off-grid energy
Cooking, lighting, heating, and biogas-to-electricity options for farms, schools, and peri-urban households.
SME & skills
Briquette machinery, trainings, and installation services that create local enterprise and technician capacity.
Institutions & settlements
Solutions proven in schools, dairies, industrial waste advisory, and refugee settlement programmes.
Selected work
Projects across Uganda
Industrial advisory, dairy power, school bio-latrines, women’s groups, and settlement programmes.
