Unga Farm Care EA switches to biomass energy, cutting diesel use by 1 million liters and saving Sh129 million annually in a major green shift.

In a decisive move that marries profitability with sustainability, manufacturing giant Unga Farm Care EA has turned its back on fossil fuels. The company has commissioned a state-of-the-art biomass boiler, a strategic pivot expected to slash energy costs by a massive Sh129 million ($1 million) annually.
By partnering with Lean Energy Solutions to replace diesel-powered thermal energy with renewable biomass, Unga is not just saving money; it is future-proofing its operations against the volatile global oil market. The switch will eliminate the use of 1.08 million liters of diesel every year, a staggering reduction that eases the pressure on the company's forex requirements.
Plant Manager Fredrick Kinge was clear: this is about survival and sustainability.
Unga’s transition serves as a blueprint for Kenyan manufacturers struggling with high power costs. It proves that going green is not a charity; it is a smart business strategy. As the boilers fire up with biomass, Unga is burning a trail for a cleaner, more profitable industrial future.
