Cleanergy Briquettes was launched in 2018 as a way to solve a waste problem within our neighbourhood. Biomass waste has found its way into our drain systems and landfills, and we sort to turn it into cooking and heating fuel. After proof of concept, the company was registered in February 2020 as Something Beautiful Limited and Cleanergy; a trademark under the company. It Is a social enterprise with a main focus in ensuring that we enable institutions and households in every corner of the country to access and transition to a clean source of cooking and heating fuel.
According to research, 70% of households in Kenya are dependent on solid biomass fuel. This is in form of firewood and charcoal. These fuels cause a lot of indoor pollution, resulting in pulmonary diseases and at times demise of women or infant children who are the mostly exposed to the smoke pollution.
