The Kick-off meeting for the #KijaniBox project took place in Nairobi, Kenya between 22nd to 24th of October 2024. This was an eventful 3 day meeting with the 1st day commencing with partner introductions, project tasks presentations, and brief discussions on the interrelationships of the tasks. The 2nd day opened with a visit to #BestTropicalFruits Limited in Machakos county, Kenya, the 1st pilot site for demonstration of the project solution and concluded with a strategic discussion workshop to further enable the understanding of the project objectives by the partners and prepare a 6-months work plan for the main activities. Visiting Best tropical fruits was important as it provided a tangible assessment of the pilot sites by the partners ahead of the physical development of the solution. The final day had a final site pilot visit at #Kangagimarket in Kiambu county in Kenya and a stakeholder workshop to involve the key players in the biogas industry in the project development. Overall, KijaniBox will work to introduce innovative smart systems in the biogas industry which would promote the use of clean energy. #CleanEnergy #TheGreenDeal  #Biogas #IoT #TUD #BSUL #ENEA #WAZIUPe.V. #DeKUT #ABPL #INNEUROPE #IT21 #POLIMI #UGB #ECOH #SolarFreeze #NARO #UNESCO #HorizonEurope

The UNESCO Chair in Life Cycle and Climate Change at ESCI-UPF participates in the KijaniBox-eu project, officially launched last month in Nairobi, Kenya, which aims to accelerate Africa’s green transition. The primary objective of the project is to minimize food losses, mitigate sanitary risks, and promote energy access for small businesses. The project will run for four years, with the ESCI-UPF team leading critical tasks related to Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), Circularity Assessment, Life Cycle Costing, and Socioeconomic Assessment. #LCA #WasteManagement #Research

¡Arranca el proyecto KijaniBox-eu para acercar los ecosistemas de innovación África-Europa en el sector agroalimentario! 🌿 Del 22 al 24 de octubre en Nairobi, KijaniBox inició su andadura con un evento que reunió a socios de #Europa y #África, incluyendo a #Inneürope. Este innovador proyecto busca apoyar pequeñas empresas del sector agroalimentario en África, promoviendo prácticas sostenibles mediante el uso de energía verde. ♻️ #KijaniBox propone convertir desechos orgánicos en energía limpia para mejorar el almacenamiento de alimentos, reduciendo pérdidas y conservando la seguridad alimentaria. InnEürope jugará un papel fundamental en esta iniciativa, trabajando en estrategias de mercado para facilitar la adopción de estas innovaciones. 👉 Más info: https://bit.ly/3O10Smh #EnergíaVerde #EnergíaLimpia #SectorAgroalimentario #Sostenibilidad
