Installations completed
Areas across North and South Kivu
Current portfolio
Our four pillars
Energy, agriculture, climate and technology in one system.
The biodigester treats organic matter, supplies cooking gas, produces recoverable digestate and prepares more precise installation monitoring.
01
Energy
Biogas · Clean cooking
Biodigesters sized around available feedstock and the site’s cooking needs.
02
Agriculture
Digestate · Liquid fertiliser
Digestate from biodigestion is recovered as an organic resource for crops.
03
Climate
Wood fuel · Deforestation
Biogas aims to reduce dependence on wood and charcoal. Carbon measurement remains on the roadmap.
04
Technology
MotoBox™ · BioCloud™ · PAYG
A functional prototype already monitors pH and pressure in Goma; GSM and PAYG deployment is progressive.
2012 → 2026
Fourteen years documented through field installations.

UMOJA turns organic waste into biogas for bakeries, restaurants, households and institutions. The company reduces dependence on wood fuel and recovers digestate as organic fertiliser, creating economic, social and environmental value in the Kivu region.
Our vision · 2031
Build a regional reference for intelligent biogas in Central Africa.
UMOJA aims to combine biodigester engineering with Smart Resilience for site monitoring, future carbon measurement and expansion across the Great Lakes region. This remains an ambition under development.
