Ms. Mwayi Kampesi is the founder of Planet Green Africa, a Malawi-based clean cooking enterprise producing Nyasa Moto biofuel briquettes from recycled agricultural waste.

Through Planet Green Africa's model, she has supported local production, community kiosks and women-led distribution, helping create livelihood opportunities while reducing pressure on forests and promoting cleaner cooking. She has practical experience in clean cooking, renewable biomass fuel, agricultural-waste valorisation, climate entrepreneurship and gender-inclusive community energy access in Malawi.
