Inyenyeri

Inyenyeri distributes gasifying cookstoves free of charge and manufactures its own biomass fuel pellets from crowdsourced sawdust, mainly eucalyptus, at a pellet factory in Gisenyi. Customers sign a monthly pellet-purchase contract in exchange for the stove, fuel delivery, training and repair at no extra charge, a model the company has run since piloting in 2012.
