Once a pile of waste at a sawmill somewhere in the Eastern Highlands of Zimbabwe, now a carbon-neutral source of energy for fowl-run space heating or just a good old Sunday evening BBQ with family and friends. We're producing energy from local resources, where it's used.
1/2 Introducing the #VCCZW2021 Top 25 Participants
Meet @MatteTicha representing @FuelPvt, a renewable energy development company making biomass-based renewable energy products. Fuel Flip uses homegrown energy solutions to address energy poverty in underserved communities.
@fadzyMislee It's sad, before we even think of deforestation, I see women exposed to physical harm while gathering cooking fuel, wasted productivity time, exposure to life threatening toxic fumes and particulate matter, then of course the environment. No one has to live this way.
#WorldEnvironmentDay & it’s #TimeforNature#Biodiversity is the foundation that supports all life. It affects aspect of human health, providing clean air and water, nutritious foods, and climate change mitigation. Our solutions are in nature and it’s time for #GreenRecovery
Each year, close to 4 million people die prematurely from illness attributable to household air pollution from inefficient cooking practices, the bulk of which is in sub-Saharan Africa. This number of deaths is more than that of HIV-AIDS, TB and Malaria combined.
The fact that 600M people in sub-Saharan Africa are living in energy poverty is a human rights issue. We can’t really talk about wide-scale development unless we fix this energy poverty issue.
Ethanol produced from sweet sorghum can address this cooking energy crisis and on the other hand, create rural jobs and bring about food security to rural households through financial security.
The food-energy nexus has always been a difficult topic but with proper planning, an agro-based bioenergy industry can facilitate the setting up of a more resilient food-secure rural sub-Saharan Africa through financial security. It's high time we unleash this locked potential.
