We are a Dutch, innovative, design and production company that focuses on clean, affordable and high quality energy and sanitation solutions. We offer millions of rural households in Africa and Asia the opportunity to improve their lives and income positions. Our teams in The Netherlands and East Africa work together to design and mass produce high quality, modular, domestic biogas and bio-sanitation systems. By doing so, we create healthy and safe environments for rural households while contributing to the reduction of indoor air pollution, deforestation, and carbon emissions.
