The Grant

Brief Summary of Request: Green Heat (U) Ltd is a Ugandan company that has supported small-scale biogas development in Uganda for the past three years, and is now seeking to scale its operations to include commercial biogas production. The company is seeking support to conduct a complete feasibility study of its Waste 2 Energy (W2E) project concept. W2E proposes to: (1) Collect municipal waste in Kampala, Uganda (2) Produce biogas via anaerobic digestion of organic wastes (3) Purify and pressurize the gas into LPG canisters, and (4) Market the gas as a safe, affordable, and renewable alternative to charcoal, firewood, and LPG, a resource that is currently in such shortage in Kampala that customers are often forced to wait over a month to refill their empty gas canisters.
