Project description
Kenya is the world’s top exporter of black tea by weight. However, tea processing requires intensive energy input and is often costly and unsustainable. The energy saving potential is significant. To tap this potential, the Kenya Tea Development Agency, the Ethical Tea Partnership, Taylor’s of Harrogate, Mars Drinks and GIZ joined forces. The Strathmore Energy Research Centre supports the cooperation by training energy auditors and conducting energy audits – not only in tea but also in dairy processing plants.
Funded by ETP, ToH, Mars Drinks, SERC and GIZ ‘Sustainable Energy for Food – Powering Agriculture
Main Partners: Taylor’s of Harrogate ToH Mars Drinks GIZ ‘Sustainable Energy for Food – Powering Agriculture’
