Rachel Faber of Reuters reports on a Benin company that is turning waste into power.
- Benin Biogas is a company that is turning everyday food waste into clean fuel in Benin.
- The company has built networks of concrete tanks underneath neighborhoods and industrial zones that act as reactors, turning organic waste into biogas.
- These projects provide power to over 560 households.
- Benin Biogas is also working to convert organic waste into high-quality fertilizer so farmers can reduce dependence on expensive, imported fertilizers.
