"Green" Tea: creating clean heat and power with biomass residues and gasification technology to future-proof your cuppa.
Project disclaimer
Description
Our vision for this project is to strengthen the financial, environmental and societal viability of Kenya's tea sector through decentralised electricity and heat generation from crop residues, enabling lower costs, emissions and fuelwood use, and higher reliability. The consortium brings together Compact Syngas Solutions (CSS) gasification technology provider and the expertise, knowledge and skills in Kenyan tea agriculture, energy sector from the Consultative Group of International Agricultural Research-International Institute of Tropical Agriculture (CGIAR-IITA) and The Grass Company (TGC). The key objectives of this feasibility project is to prove to the Kenyan tea supply-chain through operational and financial data and stakeholder engagement that gasification technology is key to an affordable, efficient and reliable energy source for the production of tea that also is better for the environment.
Objectives
This activity is funded under the Energy catalyst programme. The Energy Catalyst programme supports innovative businesses and organisations to find new commercial solutions that help provide clean, affordable and secure energy in sub-Saharan Africa, South and South East Asia. It will support highly innovative, market-focused energy solutions in any technology or sector. They must be targeted at people, public services and local enterprises who are unable to afford or access existing solutions, or who lack the the time or expertise to successfully use those solutions. Grant funding will be provided to support businesses to undertake research, development and innovation activity on innovative products or services, business models and processes. Incubation support will also be provided to help some of the businesses to take their innovations to market faster, as well as further support to enable access to investors and customers and maximise the potential created.
