Avocado residue
A concentrated resource from the partner oil plant.
A new
future
for Kisii
Kisii: A net-zero model for the world
Turning local resources into clean energy, healthier farms and stronger livelihoods.
Kisii grows around 75,000 tonnes of avocado a year. In its first year, our partner oil plant will press 20,000 tonnes of that fruit. Only a fraction becomes oil. The remaining 70 to 80% is waste that currently has nowhere to go.
Around the plant, families grow corn to eat, and the leftover cobs pile up season after season. Most end up burnt in the open. S&R Imara collects both waste streams and converts them into value through controlled gasification.
The connected system
Local resources become
shared value.
Corn cobs
Farm residue collected instead of being burnt in the open.
Livestock waste
Locally available manure that can become clean cooking energy and farm inputs.
Connected climate programmes
Local resources create useful energy, healthier soils and stronger farm livelihoods.
One place. Two waste streams. A shared system.
