BRYCOAL is a Nigerian startup that is harnessing biomass waste for sustainable charcoal. The company was founded in 2018 with a mission to democratize energy access for those at the bottom of the pyramid. Their slogan "Harnessing biomass waste for sustainable charcoal" reflects their core focus on sustainability and renewable energy. Brycoal aims to provide clean, sustainable, and efficient cooking and heating fuel in the form of charcoal briquettes for households.
One of the key aspects of Brycoal's business model is the recycling of organic waste, which not only provides an eco-friendly energy solution but also creates opportunities for job creation in waste collection. This approach also helps address energy poverty and plays a part in protecting millions of trees.
The startup recently secured a $100.00K grant investment from USAID East Africa Trade and Investment Hub in November 2021. This investment serves as a testament to the recognition of Brycoal's potential in the renewable energy and sustainability sectors. With its focus on addressing critical issues such as energy access and waste management, Brycoal stands as a potential game-changer in the sustainable energy landscape.
