About Green Heat International
Green Energy & Waste Solutions for all of Africa
Green Heat International provides revolutionary energy, waste and fertilizer solutions for homes, schools, farms and commercial buildings. Our environmentally-friendly products convert waste into clean and reliable biofuel and fertilizer. At the same time, reducing the dependence on water resources, reliance on non-sustainable biomass, and mitigating deforestation. Our core product, biogas digesters, are equipped with a leading edge technology known as a Slurry Separation System (SST), providing an unique waste and biofuel solution depending upon your need.
Our mission is to improve clean energy access, and provide sustainable solutions for energy and waste, leading Africa into its green energy future.
We cooked matooke and beans for our meal of seven on biogas without losing the organic fertilizer for our vegetable garden in the backyard! It’s very convenient.

Where You Can Find Green Heat
WHO WE WORK WITH
Education
We have partnered with the Ugandan Ministry of Energy to provide sustainable energy solutions in schools. In 2014, we constructed ten bio-latrines to reduce reliance on wood fuel. Following the project’s success, Green Heat was commissioned to build ten additional bio-latrines in 2015. One of our largest projects to date was the installation of a 120m3 digester for the National Teachers College in Kaliro, Uganda.
Agriculture / Farming
Our projects range from supporting small scale farmers to waste management on an industrial scale. We are currently installing solar powered slurry separation systems for farms in East Africa. Our recent USAID grant from Securing Water for Food is financing technology to decrease water demands and enhance the production of organic fertilizer.
Residential Appications for Green Heat
Green Heat is committed to improving energy resources in African homes. We have installed over 150 domestic biogas digesters and 40 kilns for briquette production. We are also expanding our access to finance schemes to increase the distribution of solar lamps. We recently installed a biodigester for a 70 year-old woman who has been collecting firewod every day for years. Despite her doubts, she now has a gas stove fueled by the pig waste from her farm.
Commercial
Green Heat works with businesses to offset carbon and give back to local communities.
This year we had the pleasure of working with Walt Disney Studios, during their filming of Queen of Katwe. We won the design bid to construct a large-scale bio-digester for the new school they have funded in the Namuwongo slum of Kampala.
