COCO-Energy Hubs

COCO-Energy: Decentralized Clean Power from Agricultural Waste
Problem Statement: A Silent Energy and Waste Crisis in Rural Kenya
In Kenya, over 70% of rural households lack access to reliable electricity. At the same time, thousands of tons of coconut husks, shells, and agricultural waste are burned or dumped daily, releasing harmful emissions and wasting potential energy.

This dual crisis, energy poverty and agro-waste pollution, is stalling local development, keeping smallholder farmers off the grid and locking communities out of green industrialization opportunities.

Solution: Turning Coconut Waste into Circular Energy Hubs
COCO-Energy builds modular, community-owned pyrolysis hubs that convert coconut and biomass waste into:

Biochar (for soil regeneration and carbon credits)

Syngas (for cooking or electricity generation)

Bio-oil (for industrial use or local resale)

Using AI-optimized pyrolysis systems and blockchain-based tracking, each hub operates with high thermal efficiency, low emissions, and full transparency, ensuring data-backed impact and tradable carbon offsets.

How It Works: COCO-Energy in 4 Strategic Phases
Waste Collection
Partner with coconut cooperatives and farmers to supply agri-waste (paid per kilo).

Conversion
AI-monitored pyrolysis chambers process waste into energy products.

Distribution
Energy products are sold locally or distributed to households, replacing charcoal and kerosene.

Credits & Traceability
Blockchain system logs every kilo processed—qualifying communities for carbon credits and performance-based financing.

Impact at Scale
500+ households per hub gain clean cooking or electricity access.

60% reduction in biomass waste burning, improving air quality.

Up to 3 metric tons of CO₂e offset per month per hub.

Local employment created for youth and women as collectors, operators, and distributors.

Soil fertility improved with biochar, boosting crop yields for smallholder farmers.

Why It Matters:
COCO-Energy is not just clean tech—it's economic justice.
It decentralizes green energy, strengthens agro-circular economies, and offers measurable returns via:

Community profit-sharing models

Tradable carbon assets

ESG-aligned partnerships
