About Us

Vision: Clean energy driving Africa’s economy

ABPL has majorly contributed in the development of the bio-digester market in Kenya. We have done this through supporting SMEs in Kenya to deploy quality bio-digester technologies to households in Kenya. ABPL has the ambition of expanding this market stimulation and development support across the entire bioenergy solutions spectrum. Since 2015, we have offered technical capacity, financial linkages, quality management, extension and customer service support to 147 entrepreneurs dealing in biodigester construction and installations. Our support has enabled these entrepreneurs deliver quality and affordable biogas systems to small holder farmers at profitable scales.

Mission

To support communities build sustainable bioenergy enterprises for accelerated universal access to affordable clean energy

How We Work

ABPL’s business model is derived from the community marketing model, centred on Aggregating Bio-energy Consumers for Development and Entrepreneurship (ABCDE). This model builds the capacity of user communities to be entry points for bio-energy technology and service interventions targeting their communities. Having over 22,000 consumers spread across the country, we have organized them in sub-county organs referred to as sub-county bio-energy users’ hubs BUHs. These sub county organs are further organized at the national level to form the National Bioenergy Users Congress (NBUC) which becomes a critical force for lobby and advocacy to influence an enabling environment for energy access.
