GRS Commodities Ltd

Developed a biogas plant which supplies electricity for off-grid areas.
2013 SEED Africa Award Lauréat-e Waste Management Kampala, Uganda

By applying waste-to-energy concepts, GRS Commodities is able to produce and supply electricity for off-grid areas. These concepts include biogas production from animal waste and gasification of dry biomass. Biogas digester residue, which is rich in nutrients, is returned to the farmers and used as fertiliser, while surplus is sold. A new GRS gasification plant will use rice husks to produce electricity. It will power a rice mill enabling local farmers to access clean renewable energy to process their crops.
