Collaborative Research Grant

Kibabii University (Kenya), in partnership with the University of Huddersfield (UK), has gained funding for a 2-year project with Carbon Footprint Limited, located along Webuye- Kakamega Road (Kenya). The KTP project aims to Optimise Sugarcane Supply Chain Through Sustainable Bagasse Drier Solution in Sugarcane Waste Management by developing a sustainable off-grid drying technology for processing a highly toxic agricultural food waste product (Bagasse) so as to improve the livelihoods of the local rural communities through provision of affordable clean energy (Charcoal Briquettes from Bagasse) and access to pollution-free land for crop growing.
