Entrepreneurship Institute of Technology

Organization

Mission

Use energy efficient wood gas stoves which reduces fuel use and indoor and outdoor air pollution to propagate a message of afforestation using bamboo a renewable energy plant.

The project will be based in Nakasongola, a Kyoga region, to help avert climate change by sequestering carbon.

To re install forests using fast growing, best renewable energy source, wonder plant - Bamboo- in Lake Kyoga region with headquarter at 75 acre land demonstration farm in Nakasongola.

To use wood gas stove to encourage growing of bamboo as wood fuel. To encourage growing and use of bamboo for domestic use and pyrolysis means of supplying heat for the different heating needs like Baking ovens, incinerators, Tea industries, electricity generation etc.

Other Organizational Expertise

We have been manufacturing steel door and windows at our sophisticated metal fabrication facility for the fabrication facility in lubaga.® And we used to make automatic voltage stabilizers and inverters.

Technologies & Fuels

Biomass (Ag. Residue, Processed Biomass, etc.), Solar

Clean Cooking Activities

We will, through microfranchise incentive, supply domestic wood gas cook stove to households who undertake to provide 1 acre of land on which bamboo can be planted. The money for seedlings, planting, fertilizer and supervision of the planted bamboo will be loaned to the recipient farmer who pays back in carbon biochar generated from the wood gas cookstove and the bamboo wood that we will harvest after 3 to 6 years and the carbon sink of that 1 acre bamboo farm.
®
Carbon credit funding will assist us in this project development and implementation, to majorly arrange the funding required for this carbon reduction projects in the form of equipment financing, â€˜Build-Own-Operate-and-Transfer' financing models, forward sales of carbon credits and carbon credit participating loans.

Partnership

We are a leading organisation in bamboo and its products manufacturing.® We make very high quality bamboo bicycles for export to UK, USA, Austria and Germany.® Our bicycle frames have been subjected to numerous tests in each of these countries and have passed these tests.

Entrepreneurship Institute of Technology is a vocational training institute.® We will be holding regular training practical hands on workshops and producing real products as a demonstration to the public.®

We will use the bamboo bicycle as a mascot to propagate the message of bamboo for various applications. We want to bring the now nonexistent bamboo industry to its full fruition from food, to building.® Bamboo as fuel for domestic and industrial application using the more efficient pyrolysing method.® Bamboo as first class charcoal and its numerous applications.® We will be supplying quality bamboo seedlings in large quantity after setting up a tissue culture lab to reproduce quality commercial bamboo plantlets.® We will be helping organisations that have planted bamboo to get carbon credit for their bamboo forests.
