Problem
We are establishing local manufacturing of ethanol cooking fuel from cassava to serve the growing clean cooking market in Kenya impacting rural livelihoods.
Solution
Giraffe advances African sustainability with a tech-driven, disease-resistant cassava seedstock. Our plan: high-tech biorefineries in East Africa, producing clean ethanol cooking fuel to replace imports. This shift aims to cut around 30,000 annual deaths caused by dirty fuels in Kenya.
