Pioneer Project: Safi

Sustainable African Frying Initiative

Kenya's first Clean Cooking for Clean Energy initiative

SAFI (Sustainable African Frying Initiative) is a pioneer project of the ABYT Network. It is Kenya’s first community-centred FOG recovery and clean energy initiative — collecting Fats, Oils & Grease from HORECA, food processors, households and commercial premises, converting it into biodiesel and SAF, and eliminating the toxic recycling of recovered grease back into the food chain. Every SAFI vendor is recruited and supported by a certified ABYT Network trader.
