Scaling up a feedstock supply chain for biomass briquetting in rural Kenya

Background

Existing biomass briquetting plants in Kenya generally operate at a very small scale and are often unable to cater for large-scale industrial and consumer demand. GSSL is a private sector company that aims to establish large-scale biomass briquetting plants in strategic locations around Kenya. Their business model integrates both small-scale and larger producers of agricultural waste and caters to both industrial and consumer demand for solid fuels at a scale ensuring long-term viability.

Purpose

To establish a first large-scale briquetting plant that provides a commercially viable and replicable feedstock model suited to conditions in Kenya
