About us
OUR MISSION
Biofuel Technologies Africa Ltd. manufactures environmentally friendly fuel in Kenya. We take advantage of the abundant supply of Macadamia shells, Coconut shells and other by products in the region to make clean burning charcoal briquettes for cooking and heating.
Our briquettes serve as an alternative to environmentally harmful fuels such as firewood, kerosene and traditionally produced wood charcoal. Our briquettes have high heat content and burn for a long duration therefore making them more efficient than wood or traditional charcoal.
By creating a reliable source of clean energy, Biofuel Technologies Africa Ltd. positively impacts the health of the community, contributes to waste management in the region and reduces deforestation when compared to traditional wood fuels.
