Green Solutions

At Green Solution, we are on a mission to address the urgent need for cleaner cooking fuel alternatives, particularly in regions where reliance on traditional charcoal poses significant health risks and environmental degradation. With a staggering 85% of households in The Gambia using charcoal for daily cooking, the detrimental effects on health and the environment are massive.

Our commitment is clear: to combat these challenges head-on by providing eco-friendly charcoal briquettes that not only offer a sustainable solution but also outperform conventional charcoal in every aspect. Through innovative processes, we transform coconut waste and various biomass materials into high-quality biochar briquettes with superior properties such as enhanced burning efficiency, smokelessness, cleanliness, and environmental friendliness.

But our vision extends beyond just addressing the cooking fuel dilemma. We believe in diversifying our efforts to maximize our impact. That's why we're exploring additional business ideas that align with our core mission of environmental stewardship and community empowerment.

From tire recycling initiatives that repurpose discarded materials into durable slabs for construction to harnessing biogas technology for clean and renewable energy production, we are committed to driving positive change on multiple fronts. Our ventures also extend to producing organic pesticides from tree leaves and exploring the use of biochar as an organic fertilizer to be used as a soil amendment to enhance soil fertility while sequestering carbon.

Through these innovative ventures, Green Solution is not just providing products; we're pioneering a movement towards a greener, more sustainable future. Join us in our journey towards building a world where economic prosperity and environmental responsibility go hand in hand, leaving a legacy of sustainability for generations to come. Welcome to Green Solution - where innovation meets impact.

Green Solution first enterprise is dealing with the pressing need for cleaner cooking fuel alternatives in response to the pervasive challenges associated with traditional charcoal usage. With 85% of households in The Gambia relying on charcoal for daily cooking, the adverse health and environmental effects are undeniable. Traditional charcoal emits harmful smoke, particularly impacting women's health and contributing to respiratory diseases.

Our mission is to combat these challenges by providing eco-friendly charcoal briquettes that not only offer a sustainable solution but also outperform conventional charcoal. Through innovative processes, we transform coconut waste and various biomass materials into high-quality biochar briquettes. These briquettes boast superior properties such as enhanced burning efficiency, smokelessness, cleanliness, and environmental friendliness.

The demand for sustainable cooking fuel alternatives presents a significant market opportunity. As consumers increasingly prioritize environmental responsibility, our briquettes stand as a beacon of change, offering a compelling alternative to traditional charcoal. Green Solution is positioned to lead this transition, driving a positive impact on health, the environment, and society.

Despite the availability of fuelwood as the primary domestic energy source in The Gambia, electricity production remains limited and relatively expensive, while natural gas is costly and unpopular. The excessive collection of fuelwood exacerbates pressure on the country's wood resources, especially in urban areas like the Greater Banjul Area (GBA) and Brikama. Although charcoal production was banned in The Gambia in the 1980s due to environmental concerns, it is still imported commercially from neighboring Senegal.

The introduction of groundnut shell briquetting aimed to curb deforestation, but its popularity remains low due to decreased groundnut production. The Forest Act of 1998 prohibits charcoal production domestically but allows for its importation and sale. Despite these regulations, charcoal usage persists in limited capacities, primarily for ironing and small-scale cooking activities.

Green Solutions GreenCOAL briquettes offer a sustainable and efficient alternative to traditional charcoal, aligning with national efforts to reduce environmental impact and promote sustainable energy practices. Our commitment to innovation and environmental stewardship positions us as leaders in the transition towards cleaner and greener energy solutions in The Gambia.
