Other Organizational Expertise

We developed the only viable and sustainable business case which was accepted and funded by the South African Government. South Africa has a unique value - marketing to money earners in Gauteng the residential energy products will migrate into Continental Africa. Our inclusive designs are market leading; we focus on the packaging of energy efficient technologies; said designs deliver a customer buy-in (life style) and business enrichment to the distribution chain. Select technologies are available and the Business Case is the final hurdle; in a sense - walk the last mile first!

Technologies & Fuels

Biomass (Ag. Residue, Processed Biomass, etc.), Not Applicable, Solar

Other Technologies Fuels

We have 3 Solar Home Systems (lighting, television and refrigeration) and a biomass cook stove with a unique inclusive design value that permits the localized manufacturing of stainless metal embodiments in off-grid communities. We seek to compliment this primary range with a paraffin stove manufacturer into our upcoming Gauteng Road Show.

Clean Cooking Activities

There are 500 informal settlements in a concentrated area that house 4.5 million people (also African ® multinationals). Over a 2 month period (Road Show) using our network we aim to deliver 10 lighting SHS and Cook Stoves to vendors in each of the settlements to create awareness and implement our sustainable Business Case. We anticipate that Continental African immigrants earning money in Gauteng will migrate our product into Africa.

Partnership

After 6 years of R&D we have market ready products (inclusive design) that sustain the Business Case through vendor Business Enrichment and competitive price points. We believe that we can channel new product through our Distribution Chain.
