Chardust Ltd. Kenya

Chardust Ltd. is an alternative energies company based on the outskirts of Nairobi, Kenya. They have developed innovative and cost-effective techniques to convert biomass wastes to affordable fuel in the form of charcoal briquettes. They sell over 150 tonnes per month into institutional and domestic markets in Kenya, displacing an equivalent amount of unsustainably harvested lumpwood charcoal. At the same time as providing a cheaper energy alternative, this contributes to job creation, waste recycling and environmental conservation.

Chardust also manufacture water heaters that use their briquettes, enabling savings of over 70% to be made over water heated with electricity.
