Israeli renewable energy company\u00a0HomeBiogas<\/a>, whose system converts organic waste into clean cooking gas and\u00a0biofertilizer<\/a>, recently won a United Nations tender to supply refugee camps in several African countries.<\/p>\n

HomeBiogas products channel food leftovers or toilet waste into a tank where bacteria digest and convert them into biogas that flow to the stovetop or are turned into a green fertilizer.<\/p>\n

The solution being implemented in the refugee camps treats food leftovers and other organic waste. It is off-grid and requires zero human intervention.<\/p>\n

The large quantities of organic waste produced at refugee camps cause not only sanitary and environmental issues but also are expensive to dispose of. The HomeBiogas system allows for disposing of some waste on-site, reducing costs, and providing a renewable energy source.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are proud that the UN selected HomeBiogas to take on this important project that will have an immense impact on the environment in the refugee camps,\u201d says HomeBiogas cofounder and CEO Oshik Efrati.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are now an official supplier of the UN and believe that this tender is the first of many to come that will seek to treat waste in a sustainable way and improve the lives of hundreds of thousands of people living in refugee camps around the world,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

The company soon will begin distributing around a dozen systems to refugee camps in several African countries in an arrangement expected to grow over time.<\/p>\n
