South Sudanese Startup Tackles Animal Waste with Innovative Incinerator Technology

Juba, South Sudan – Gone are the days when boundless animal waste in farms and markets posed a menacing odor and environmental hazard in South Sudan. A revolutionary solution has emerged from the grassroots – a locally developed anaerobic incinerator technology that provides a sustainable and efficient disposal method.

Launched by a young entrepreneur, Bol Gatkuot Tut, the innovative project not only tackles the prevalent hygiene and environmental challenges but also creates an additional income generating opportunity.

"Animal waste management has become a dire need in Juba. Traditional methods, such as open burning or burying, pose serious threats to public health and agricultural productivity. Our anaerobic incinerator provides a safe, sustainable, and efficient way to address this issue." – Bol Gatkuot Tut, Founder and CEO of Green Solutions Company Limited.

The Technology

The revolutionary anaerobic incinerator functions by breaking down organic materials under controlled temperature and oxygen-deprived conditions. This process generates biogas rich in methane and carbon dioxide.

"Methane is a valuable biofuel that can be utilized to generate electricity or power agricultural equipment. This generates additional income and promotes sustainable energy generation." – Stephen Laku, Green Solutions Company Limited’s Environmental Engineer.

The remaining solid residue is simply ash, which can be utilized as a nutrient enhancer in agricultural fields.

Impact and Benefits

The implementation of the anaerobic incinerator technology has yielded numerous benefits for communities in Juba.

• Improved hygiene and sanitation: Elimination of waste-related odors and a safer environment.
• Enhanced agricultural productivity: Nutrient enrichment of soil with ash.
• Sustainable energy generation: Methane conversion to fuel.
• Income creation: By selling methane or using it for on-site energy generation.
• Job creation: Opportunities arise in manufacturing and operating the incinerators.

Looking Ahead

Green Solutions Company Limited envisions a future where sustainable waste management becomes commonplace in South Sudan. They plan to expand their technology to other regions of the country and collaborate with farmer groups and local authorities.
