01 / Impact Resource to real impact

From resource To real impact.

We turn locally available biomass into productive energy, creating value across industries, communities and the circular economy.

Biomass today. A brighter tomorrow.

03 / Chain Ripple effects

One resource. Many ripple effects.

A tonne of residue doesn’t stop at being fuel. Once it is recovered, processed and burned for heat, the value spreads outward.

  3. Energy

  1. Industrial productivity

    Local fuel for boilers, gasifiers, kilns and furnaces.

  2. Jobs & livelihoods

    Work in collection, drying, pressing and delivery, with a focus on women and youth.

  3. Local value

    Residues from nearby sawmills, farms and forests gain a market.

  4. Circular economy

    Residue becomes an input instead of waste.

04 / Recovery Resource recovery

Not waste. A resource waiting for its next use.

Agricultural and forestry residues become valuable inputs for industrial energy when they are properly recovered, prepared and matched to the right application.

05 / Environment Circular economy

A more circular way to use resources.

We don’t claim to save the planet. We explain the mechanism.

  1. 01 Residue that might otherwise have limited value
  2. 02 is recovered and prepared,
  3. 03 used productively as fuel,
  4. 04 and creates industrial value.

Where biomass suits the process, briquettes offer an alternative to firewood, charcoal and fossil fuels, using residues that are already available locally.

  1. 01 Agricultural & forestry residues
  2. 02 Resource recovery
  3. 03 Processing
  4. 04 Industrial use
  5. 05 Productive output
  6. 06 Local economic value
  7. Back to 01
06 / Economy Local value

Local resources. Real value.

Every step of our value chain happens close to home, from the sawmills and farms that supply us to the industries we serve.

  1. 01 Local suppliers
  2. 02 Collection
  3. 03 Utheri processing
  4. 04 Industrial customer
  5. 05 Productive output
What we measure
  • Biomass fuel produced 100+ tonnes / month
  • Biomass waste transformed 1,000+ tonnes / year
  • Producing in Maai Mahiu 2022 established
What it contributes to
  • Local sourcing
  • Value addition
  • Supplier opportunities
  • Jobs & livelihoods
  • Industrial productivity

Broader benefits our work supports. We only publish figures for what we measure.

07 / People Livelihoods

The people behind every tonne.

Every briquette passes through many hands: people collecting residue, drying and testing it, running the press and driving it to our customers. Creating that work, particularly for women and youth, is part of why Utheri exists.

08 / Industry Commercial purpose

Cleaner energy. Stronger industries.

Impact has to work commercially too. These are the industrial outcomes our fuel is designed to support.

See our solutions

Industrial heat

Briquettes for boilers, gasifiers, kilns and furnaces.

Consistent fuel

Dried and moisture-tested batches for predictable burning.

Local supply

Fuel sourced and produced in Kenya, close to industry.

Productive use

Residue turned into output instead of waste.

09 / Principles What impact means to us

Impact isn’t one number.

  1. 01

    Resource

    Making better use of what already exists.

  2. 02

    Industry

    Helping businesses turn energy into productive output.

  3. 03

    People

    Creating opportunities across the value chain.

  4. 04

    Future

    Building a more circular energy economy.
