Bio-renewables from sustainable sources help in a greener future. Our briquettes are made of Elephant Grass, (Pennisetum Purpureum), a C4 category plant, which uses an accelerated photosynthetic process to absorb and fixate carbon in its rhizomes, resulting in the enrichment of poor soils
Our biomass briquettes are made of Elephant Grass, a renewable and sustainable source, showcasing our dedication to eco-friendly energy. These briquettes represent the forefront of environmentally conscious solutions, shaping the future of sustainable power generation
Biomass briquettes burn more efficiently than wood, meaning that less fuel is needed to generate the same amount of heat. This increased efficiency means that less wood is needed overall, which helps to reduce wood consumption and deforestation
Biomass briquettes are easier to transport and store than wood, which can be bulky and difficult to move around. This means that it is easier for people to access fuel sources, particularly in rural areas where wood may not be readily available.
Biomass briquettes produce lower emissions than wood, which can help to reduce indoor air pollution and improve overall air quality. This is particularly important for people who rely on wood as a primary source of fuel for cooking and heating
C4 plants are a group of plants that use a specific photosynthetic pathway to convert carbon dioxide into organic compounds. They are known for their high productivity and efficiency in converting sunlight into biomass. Examples of C4 plants include elephant grass, corn, sugarcane, and switchgrass.
C4 biomass plants are considered to be a renewable energy source because the biomass they use can be regrown, unlike fossil fuels.
Operating since 2019, Viridium tanzania briquette processing facility is based in Iringa, using state of the art briquettes production technology. The plantation is over 2000 acres.
