The Path to Clean, Affordable, Sustainable Energy

Africa was the first to birth life, and it should be the first to birth the biggest, life-changing green revolution. We at Alkebulan strongly believe that.

And that’s why we are on this mission of substituting Africa’s current energy sources of wood and fossil fuels with cleaner, greener, more Earth-friendly fuels.

Our worth on this planet is not measured by how we live; but by how we change and shape here. By boosting the waste-to-fuel initiative with the adrenaline of automation and technology, we provide low-cost affordable and eco-friendly briquettes to industries and households. And we take our people with us. By upskilling locals, creating a self-sustaining circular economy, tackling local problems of waste hitting landfills and generating jobs that bring development.

We believe in our cause. Join us as we write our story.

We saw an opportunity

… in the inexhaustible raw material, that is our waste. And so, we used it (agricultural waste, animal waste and even human waste) to create a superior fuel that beats all your regulars.

We saw the gap

… where non-renewable energy sources were causing ozone depletion, weather pattern disturbances, natural disasters, and global warming. And there were few affordable alternatives.

We saw the market readiness

… from both industries, and consumers, to substitute the energies they traditionally used , like wood and fossil fuels, with renewable biogas and high-energy briquettes.

Why Choose Us?

Many a companies are changing the world with green business initiatives. What makes us stand out? As a company, we focus on our product, scale, and people, but our story starts with our cause.

Our Process

With an efficient and scalable process combined with state-of-art technology, we produce ‘activated’ briquettes using sugarcane bagasse and biodegradable agroforestry waste. We set stringent quality checks and run a one-of-a-kind remotely controlled automation throughout the process outlined below.

Our
Products

We change the energy needs of Africa. But we also find a solution to our waste problem. So, we ensure our production processes create a minimal waste nuisance of their own. And that’s why we have three diverse product offerings, each an outcome of our production process, just at different stages.

Briquettes

We manufacture “Activated” briquettes that have easy substitutability with current non-green (coal and wood-based) energy demand. Our briquettes save trees, double the total heat output, and reduce waste. They burn 50% longer, contain less moisture, zero impurities and result in less GHG emissions.

Cattle Fodder

In the process of manufacturing briquettes,the production residue is converted to animal fodder. The raw materials we source from farmers thus go right back to them as cattle fodder which contains the right nutrient profile for domesticated cattle.

Organic Fertilizers

Like cattle fodder, organic fertilizers are another residual products of our manufacturing process. The processes yield organic liquid and solid fertilizers to agriculturists, private players, and end-user farmers within and outside the circular economy framework.
