1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
After several research conducted on sustainable energy source, Clean Energy Investments is
ready to start manufacturing carbonized charcoal briquettes of the best quality ever making use
of agricultural waste (Biomass) such as maize trash, sugarcane trash, cotton stalks, and banana
peelings as well as charcoal dust from charcoal traders among others leaving the country’s
forests undisturbed.

Biomass briquettes are a form of solid fuel that can be burned for energy. They are created by
compacting loose biomass residues into solid blocks that can replace fossil fuels, charcoal and
natural firewood for domestic and institutional cooking and industrial heating processes.
Briquettes have the potential to be a source of renewable energy if they are made from
sustainably harvested biomass or waste agricultural residues.
Crops grown in Uganda such as maize, cereals, roots, cane sugar and coffee all produce residues
that are suitable for briquetting as does charcoal dust from charcoal traders. Data provided by the
Ugandan government indicates that 1.2 million tonnes of agricultural wastes are available each
year.
Clean Energy Investments looks at converting the natural and available agro waste/biomass
currently being burned, into a useful fuel that can go a long way in alleviating Uganda’s energy
problems and increasing the availability of sustainable cooking fuel to citizens of Uganda.

Clean Energy Investments will be a limited liability company. It will be located in Gulu district
registered through the Registrar General in Kampala. It anticipates producing about 800 tons of
briquettes during the first year of operation, which is an average of 2.2 tons of briquettes per day.
A kilogram of briquettes will be sold at $0.3, thus generating sales’ revenue of $240,000 at the
end of the first year of operation.

The company requires a total of $10,000 as an initial investment capital. A third of this will be
contributed by the founders of the company and will seek for a loan from dfcu Bank to meet the
remaining balance. This will be used to purchase machinery, land and meet the annual costs of
production. The company’s CEO Mr. Onyinge Yusuf is making arrangements to apply for a
business start up loan at dfcu Bank.

The business will have a number of positive impacts as far as development is concerned, it will
aid in the preservation of Uganda’s endangered biodiversity, as well as providing economic
support to rural and urban communities (by creating employment opportunities) and help lower
carbon house gas emissions into the atmosphere which is a great move towards fighting climate
change.

2 THE BUSINESS
Clean Energy Investments will specialize in the manufacture of carbonized charcoal briquettes.
This is after the founders conducting thorough research on sustainable energy source. The
manufacture will make use of agricultural wastes (Biomass) such as sugarcane trash, maize trash,
cotton stalks, banana peelings, and charcoal dust from charcoal traders among others. The
company will be a limited liability company.

Investment Authority

Figure 1 Energy consumption in Uganda

Biomass, an energy-producing source, is used principally in the form of firewood and wood
charcoal. Currently, biomass provides about 93% of Uganda’s consumed energy source. In
agricultural-based countries like Uganda, there is a vast natural supply of biomass found in the
form of agricultural and forest residues. Often these residues are simply burned in the fields.
This practice is not only an unfortunate waste of an energy source, but also a great causer of
air/atmospheric pollution.
Crops grown in Uganda such as maize, cereals, roots, cane sugar and coffee all produce residues
that are suitable for briquetting as does charcoal dust from charcoal traders. Data provided by the
Ugandan government indicates that 1.2 million tonnes of agricultural wastes are available each
year.
Clean Energy Investments looks at converting the natural and available agro waste/biomass
currently being burned, into a useful fuel that can go a long way in alleviating Uganda’s energy
problems and increasing the availability of sustainable cooking fuel to citizens of Uganda.
The company will use simple technology in converting the biomass into good quality charcoal
briquettes. Clean Energy Uganda plans to procure a charcoal briquette making machine from
china at a cost of approximately $2,000.

4|Page
Clean Energy Investments’ particular specialty will be the youths since statistically there is a
very high level of youth unemployment in Uganda today. Clean Energy Investments will as well
works with venerable women groups to enable them earn a living from this business.

2.1 Product plan

The briquettes will be made out of charcoal-dust got by burning dry agricultural wastes such as
sugar cane trash, and maize trash got from farmers. Trash is defined as “fibrous material left in
the field after harvesting.”
The trash is burned in a carbonizing unit to form charcoal.
“Porridge” is made using cassava flour and left to ferment for 3-4 days.
The charcoal is then mixed with the fermented “porridge” which acts as a binder. The mixture is
then molded and dried.
Lastly, the charcoal briquettes are packaged in various quantities suitable for sale to both
commercial and domestic buyers.
Below are the general Characteristics of the carbonized Briquettes:

 Moisture Content: 7.1% - 7.8%

 Volatile Matter: 13.0% - 13.5%
 Fixed Carbon: 81.0% - 83.0%
 Ash: 3.7% - 7.7%
 Heating Value: 7,100 - 7,300 kcal/kg
 Density: 970kg/m3

Merits of the Briquettes are;

 This carbonised charcoal brquettes burn without any smoke during ignition and burning.
 There is also minimum residual ash formed (less than 4% of the original weight of the
charcoal).
 The concentration of fixed carbons will be about 82%. The calorific value of charcoal
briquettes is 7500 Kcal/KG making it hotter than ordinary charcoal.
 Briquettes contains minimum evaporative substances, thus eliminating the possibility of
odour.
 In terms of burning time, briquettes burn twice as long as hardwood charcoal due to
fewer cracksand and increased strength.
 Briquettes do not produce sparks as compared to hardwood charcoal.
 Briquettes are dust free, that is , they are clean!

Clean energy investments plans to make charcoal briquette using simple technology and this will
ensure products that are not only inexpensive and affordable to its customers, but also of good
quality!

3 MARKET STRUCTURE AND ANALYSIS
3.1 Target market
Clean Energy Investments is targeting the following market

̶ Households
̶ Restaurants
̶ Hotels
̶ Poultry firms
̶ Pork joints
̶ Chapatti businesses, and
̶ Schools

3.2 Market size and potentials

According to the 2014 census, the population of Uganda stands at 34.6 million people growing at
a rate of 3.0% annually and it was projected to increase to about 39 million by mid-2018.
Currently, it’s estimated to be around 44.27 million people.1

Out of this population figures, over 95% use firewood and charcoal for their daily cooking and
this is a sizeable and potential market for charcoal briquettes as well.

Charcoal demand is expected to increase with the increasing population of the country. On the
other hand, wood charcoal production is gradually decreasing because trees/forests are being
depleted. Therefore, manufactured charcoal briquettes are the only cheap and affordable
alternative to wood charcoal.

3.3 Competitor analysis

 Wood charcoal businesses; there are a number of charcoal dealers who buy wood charcoal
from various charcoal producing and supply areas like Nakasongola, Kayunga, Masindi,
Mubende, and northern Uganda. They transport the wood charcoal by trucks to urban and
semi-urban centers. However, this is in violation of the environment law and it’s currently
being dealt with seriously by the National Environment Management Authority (NEMA) and
Environment officers at district levels. Wood charcoal is also proven to be more expensive
than charcoal briquettes.
 Wood fuel; wood fuel is the least expensive, however its soot blackens cooking utensils and
the given off smoke is a serious health risk. Wood fuel is also a serious threat to the forest
cover and its consumption is slowly fading away since most of the trees/forests are getting
depleted!
 Electricity; not all people have access to electricity and for those who have, majority do not
use it for their daily cooking because it is very expensive in terms of paying electricity bill.

 Liquefied petroleum gas (LPG); very few people also use gas because it is also very
expensive.
 Kerosene; kerosene produces a lot of soot which posses health risks to its users and it is also
quite expensive as compared to charcoal briquettes.
 Kampala Jellitone Suppliers Ltd; this is a company located in Natete, Kampala, producing
compressed (non-carbonized) charcoal briquettes made from coffee husks and saw-dust.
Non-carbonized briquettes burn slowly and produce smoke which leaves soot on cooking
pots and the smoke posses health risks to the users while carbonized briquettes burn slowly
without producing smoke.

3.4 Competitive advantage

Briquettes have a high bulk density compared to fire wood and loose biomass. Because of their
density and low moisture content, the briquettes give a longer burning time which will translate
to cost savings for the customer.

The cost of cooking fuel is one of the most important factors in determining which fuel to use. In
Uganda, people are looking for the cleanest, the most convenient, and the most affordable
cooking fuel. Briquettes have additional benefits, including reduction on deforestation and
carbon emissions in the atmosphere.

Carbonized charcoal briquettes burn without producing any smoke making it more clean than
wood fuels, wood charcoal, and kerosene. Clean Energy Investment will make carbonized
charcoal which will give it a competitive advantage over its competitor.

Clean Energy Investments’ briquettes will be of high quality, yet very affordable by the
customers. This will greatly attract customers to use these briquettes instead of other fuels, since
most people are looking for cleanest, convenient and a cost effective energy source for cooking.
And here comes the solution they have been looking for!

4 MARKETING AND SALES

4.1 Promotion and advertising
Clean Energy Investments intends to participate in exhibitions like the Energy Week which is
usually organized by the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Development, various trade fairs, and
agricultural shows. These appearances will not only provide a promotional platform for the
company, but also a communication forum as well. This is to promote people’s awareness about
the benefits of using our charcoal briquettes.

We also plan an aggressive campaign of marketing at and related trade shows. To this course, we
will design and build an attractive display booth that will effectively demonstrate our products.

7|Page
In this context, Clean Energy Investments anticipates attending at least ten trade shows each year
for the first three years of operation and will use them as a showcase around which to meet
potential sales representatives, wholesalers, and customers.

Clean Energy Investments plans to hire an experienced media consultant to work with in
developing a press package and arranging for several articles about the carbonized charcoal
briquettes from our company to appear in several popular magazines.
Flyers and posters will also be made. They will have printed instructions for lighting the
briquettes and estimating their burning time. The flyers and posters will be an educational tool,
with both financial and environmental advantage. They will be distributed to the selected
vendors, who will hand them out to clients as they buy the briquettes.

4.2 Distribution channels

The channels of distribution for Clean Energy Investments’ charcoal briquettes will include
direct sales by corporate personnel to selected major accounts, and the use of manufacturer’s
representatives or sales representatives, distributor’s dealers/wholesalers, so as to reach the rest
of the market. This will be majorly aimed at penetrating a bigger market proportion.

4.3 Planned pricing and marketing strategies for Clean Energy Investments
In the beginning, Clean Energy Investments will team with a limited number of sales
representatives and wholesalers who have proven abilities in successfully introducing new
products in the market.
At first, the emphasis will be on developing market penetration in a few carefully chosen regions
near our manufacturing facility. The reason for this approach is to properly identify effective
pricing techniques and marketing strategies. Information gathered will then be used to fine-tune
stocking requirements, manufacturing rate requirements, etc., for effective distribution.
In other words, we want to be sure we are walking with a firm and steady trend before we begin
to run.
Meanwhile tentatively, the company expects to sell its briquettes at about $0.3 which is an
equivalent of 1,000 Uganda shillings.

5.2 Partners and sponsers

Clean Energy Investments seeks to work with Environmental advocates such as UNDP,
OXFAM,

As a partnership deal, Clean Energy Investments anticipates to incorporate itself under the Clean
Development Mechanism (CDM) for Uganda. The CEO is planning to have an in-depth
discussion with the Kampala based Uganda Carbon Bureau on this issue. This will be of great
aid to the company as far as financing issues are concerned as a well as providing a platform for
our products.

6 OPERATION PLAN

Clean Energy Investments’ Briquette production will use Agricultural Waste (field residues and
process residues like; sugar cane trash, maize waste, cotton stalks; and charcoal dust which are
small particles of charcoal lost during retail and distribution. These will be supplied by local
farmers, charcoal dust collectors hired by the company.

6.1 Product processing plan

The processing steps will be as shown in the figure below.

Figure 2 Steps in making carbonized charcoal briquettes

10 | P a g e
Carbonization; this will be done to drive out volatile compounds and moisture from the biomass,
leaving a fuel with a higher proportion of carbon remaining (char). The carbonization will be
done in a brick or steel kilns as a carbonizing unit.

Preparation of feedstock; Before compacting into a briquette, the feedstock is crushed into
powder form by use of a mechanized milling machine. After which it is sieved to ensure
consistency in the powder. This will also be part of our quality control measures.

Binding; binding is the process of ‘sticking together’ the compacted material. If there’s need for
a binder, we will be binding using cassava flour.
Compaction or molding will be done using a briquette making machine from China. The
company CEO, Mr. Onyinge Yusuf is planning to place a quotation for the briquette making
machine from China.
Drying; Clean Energy Investments will in its first three years of operation use the sun drying
method for drying its briquettes though this is a slow process which takes between 4-5 days for
the briquettes to dry. Sun drying will be done on a raised wire mess for a faster drying.

In the subsequent years, the company anticipates acquiring a Tunnel Drier for briquettes and a
Flash Drier for feedstock.

Lastly, Clean Energy Investments will package its briquettes in polythene bags in various
quantities for its customers starting from 1kg. The polythene bags will be printed with the
company’s name and logo.

(See photo gallery Annexure 10.2)

6.2 Product quality control methods

Clean Energy Investment will use the following quality control measures;

̶ Uniform mixing ratios

̶ Preparing standard operating procedures (SOPs) for production
̶ Use of briquette making machine to ensure equal shapes and sizes
̶ Use of same raw materials to ensure uniformity in quality of the products.

6.3 Suppliers and raw materials

Clean Energy Investments plans to work with the local farmers in Gulu who will supply the
agricultural dry waste (maize trash sugarcane trash, banana peelings, rice stalks, cotton stalks
among others).

Also the company intends to hire people who will collect charcoal dust from market places to be
used as raw materials for making the charcoal briquettes. Or alternatively buy the charcoal dust
directly from charcoal traders in different markets.

11 | P a g e
6.4 Legal status
̶ Clean Energy Investments will be Limited Liability Company and will be registered through
the Registrar General in Kampala.
̶ The company will be located in Gulu, Eastern Uganda. I will apply for a trading license
through the Gulu Municipal council.
̶ The team of founders of this company is still working on the company’s logo. The logo will
be registered as a trade mark; thereafter it becomes a label on all products manufactured by
Clean Energy Investments.
̶ The company will carry out an Environmental Impact Assessment (EPA). This is in
conformity with the National Environment Management Authority (NEMA) mandate

7 MILESTONE AND STRATEGY

Vision:

The company’s Vision is ‘To be the leading producer and supplier of high quality carbonized
charcoal briquettes in Uganda.’

Goals:

̶ To manufacture and supply briquettes to households, hotels and restaurants

̶ To conserve natural resources and maintain a healthy environment.
̶ To take climate Action through fighting deforestation for wood and charcoal fuel

Clean Energy Investments is yet to be established and it’s not yet incorporated; however,
thorough and detailed research has been and the possibilities of achieving these goals are viable.

8 FINANCIAL FORECASTS
Clean Energy Investment is still in the start-up phase, we have yet to develop positive cash flow.
As the profit and loss projection and cash flow forecast indicate, however, we expect the
company to begin to generate a positive cash flow and profit before the end of the first year of
operation. To accomplish this, the company requires a total infusion of $10,000 as an initial
starting capital (equity capital).

The founders will contribute a third of that amount from their personal savings and will seek for
a loan to meet the remaining balance.
