About this project
The VPA will reduce greenhouse gas emissions in the tea industry in Kenya by reducing the use of energy from non-renewable biomass in the baseline by substituting it with biomass briquettes, made from bagasse which is a renewable fuel made from waste streams from the sugar industry.
