Khainza Energy Limited

Produces high-quality methane for cooking fuel from organic waste

2018 SEED Low Carbon Award Winner Clean Energy Kampala, Uganda

Khainza Energy is community-based and our business model involves working with local leaders and organised groups.

We offer skills development and training to motivated youth, empowering them to earn sustainable revenues from constructing smallscale biogas digesters.

We encourage equal opportunities among staff and empower women to take up leadership positions in the enterprise. These efforts are strengthened by our female CFO and Marketing Executive.

Khainza Energy is committed to providing clean, safe, and affordable cooking fuel solutions to Ugandans. It is an innovative circular economy business that obtains organic waste from smallholder farms and local households for processing and refinement into high-purity methane. It then distributes cooking appliances and affordable, recyclable biogas cylinders locally, incorporating local women, youth, and farmers along its value chain and distribution channels.
