Challenges
Agro-industrial units in Benin generate huge quantities of organic waste without an effective management strategy in place, leading to increasing pollution problems. Additionally, these agribusinesses require energy, which they currently acquire at great cost. ADFS, itself an agricultural processing company, offers services for the construction of waste-to-energy systems that feed back into their production system.
Solutions
ADFS is a woman-led Beninese company that builds biodigesters for food processing units in Benin, thereby reducing energy costs and improving waste management. Their fixed-dome biodigester processes organic waste to produce biogas. This biogas can be used directly in the production systems through specific stoves or transformed into bioelectricity, reducing energy costs.
