Projects in development
Projects will be added over time, though our priority is - if a project works, we will focus upon developing and replicating that project across similar countries or with similar counterparties.
Agro-waste project
We are making very good progress towards our first agro-waste to electricity project in Africa. Our plan is to introduce technology from India into one of the West African states, which will result in agricultural waste being transformed into clean energy. SCCF is acting as project manager and fundraiser, and hopes that by demonstrating its viability we will stimulate similar investment across the continent.
Advisory & Counsel
SCCF is partnering with a start-up project in Palestine, which aims to stimulate the local economy by encouraging and channelling market garden produce for export. Our role will be to carry out a diagnostic of this project, with a focus on how they use energy and other resources. Together with specialised help from one of the UK's leading universities, we will look for ways that these farmers can reduce wastage and introduce sustainable energy technologies. If this enterprise is successful we will assist our partners in expanding their activities to include other economically / environmentally depressed areas in the region.
Biomass Briquetting
We are planning to purchase mobile biomass briquetting machinery for a pilot project in Asia. This machinery will circulate municipal government sites collecting waste that is ordinarily burned or dumped into landfill. It will briquette the waste and deliver these to schools and prisons in the city, replacing diesel fuel at lower cost. Depending upon the success of the pilot, we hope in phase two to persuade municipalities across the country to adopt this technology; phase three will see us attempting to persuade other Asian countries to do the same.
