Waste-to-energy company Compact Syngas Solutions (CSS) has won funding to drive industrial decarbonisation in the hard-to-abate Kenyan tea sector-in one of the first five projects in a new United Nations scheme.
The multimillion-pounds funding has been awarded by the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO) Accelerate-to-Demonstrate (A2D) facility, with additional funding secured from the private sector.
The three-year project will see Compact Syngas Solutions build a 500KW MicroHub for a tea factory in Kenya in partnership with the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture and Supivaa Advisory Group.
Kenya produces £1 billion worth of tea a year, with up to a quarter of it destined for British consumers.
