High capacity batteries come at a high-cost but are vital in improving energy infrastructre. Mandulis seeks to provide all three components of the energy trilemma, affordability, reliability, and sustainability of clean energy access. It uses waste to create clean energy for processing crops, cooking, and fertilisers to accomplish this. This circular economy model leverages and revalorises residues and byproducts of the process. It makes all these goods and services affordable, reliable, and sustainable for smallholder farmers.

This Energy Catalyst supported project aims to show how integrating farming and energy sectors can bring economic advantages. Mandulis will bring these two sectors together to foster cross-sectoral engagement, stimulate business opportunities, and partnerships between smallholder farmers in Botswana, Cambodia, Nigeria, Uganda, and Zambia with larger economic players.
