Our vision is to be the:
Largest Energy Development COmpany in Africa
Current Challenges
Africa is energy
insecure. It is heavily dependent on biomass fuel. Over 80%+ of the biomass fuel
consumed is from wood. Natural forests subsidize the supply to meet the demand,
which causes deforestation. Large consumers like industries rely on cheaper
sources of energy in order to maintain competitiveness. Although there are
established sustainably sourced biomass fuel suppliers in North America, Africa
is in dire need of a consistent supplier that can supply at a meaningful
magnitude and price.
Wecol's Solution
UPSTREAM
We grow energy crops in the form of DRG, in partnership with NULANDS, in ARID and SEMI-ARID Lands (ASAL) so that it does not infringe upon food-cropland
MIDSTREAM
We harvest the DRG. Process it into renewable biomass fuel that can be used as the BEST SUBSTITUTE for COAL and WOOD FUEL
DOWNSTREAM
DRG briquettes / pellets is a biomass fuel that provides thermal energy or firm power. It can be transported over great distances at comparable prices to coal.
How does DRG compete with coal and wood?
