From Italy to Kenya to produce pellets!
Smartwood has been designing and manufacturing machinery and plants for pellet production for years. When people think of pellets, they rightly think immediately of heating and often do not think that pellets can be useful for so much else, for example, as a useful fuel for cooking.
Smartwood has installed the first pellet production plant in Kakamega, Kenya, which will be operated entirely by local people after training for about six months by a technician who was trained in Italy.
This plant is the first, and more will be installed throughout the African country in order to relocate production, cut costs and transportation issues.
The pellets will be distributed throughout Kenya to power Rocketstoves, small home generators that enable cooking and power generation at the same time; given on loan to residents. This Powerspot project will also involve neighboring countries in the near future to enable people to cook their own food, enabling a significant improvement in their quality of life.
From Smartwood they comment, “It’s an abnormal project that makes it possible to improve the living conditions of the inhabitants and, at the same time, create jobs by training technicians and skilled workers through the transfer of know-how to countries from which the population tends to leave chasing the mirage of Europe.”

Smartwood has been designing and manufacturing pellet production machinery and lines for years. When we hear the word “pellets” generally the first thing that pops in our mind is heating, not considering that pellets can be useful for other purposes, for example as a useful fuel for cooking.
Smartwood has installed the first pellet production line in Kakamega, Kenya, which will be managed entirely by the local population after a training of about 6 months by a technician who was trained in Italy.
This plant is the first and will be installed throughout the African country, in order to dislocate production, reduce costs and transport problems.
The pellets will be distributed throughout Kenya to feed the Rocketstoves, small domestic generators allowing to cook and to produce energy at the same time, and that are provided on loan for use to the locals. This Powerspot project will also involve neighboring countries in the near future to allow the population to cook their own food, significantly improving their quality of life.
Smartwood hast stated, “It is a huge project that allows to improve the living conditions of the locals and, at the same time, to create jobs by training technicians and specialized operators thanks to the transfer of know-how in countries from which the population tends to leave chasing the mirage of ‘Europe.”
