In a bid to combat high cases of deforestation and promote sustainable energy solutions, Nyeri town is witnessing a shift towards the use of cheaper and efficient fuel sources.
This innovative approach not only helps address environmental concerns but also provides communities with an accessible and affordable energy pool.
The move, which has gained momentum over the past three years, has also seen the production of briquettes made from agricultural waste, sawdust and varied organic matter.
The briquettes offer an eco-friendly environment contrary to the traditional charcoal made from bark of trees which burns at lower temperatures thus producing more smoke which is harmful to one's health.
