Planet Green Africa is a Malawi-based clean cooking enterprise. We turn recycled agricultural waste into Nyasa Moto briquettes, an affordable fuel made to reduce reliance on charcoal and firewood.

Nyasa Moto is our cleaner cooking briquette product. It is made from biomass waste and designed for households, institutions and small businesses that need fuel that is accessible, practical and lower pressure on forests.

Mwayi Kampesi is the founder and CEO of Planet Green Africa. Her leadership has been recognised through platforms including the Obama Foundation, Vital Voices, the Clean Cooking Alliance and Forbes Africa-linked 30 Under 30 coverage.

PGA works in Malawi, with public profiles and partner reports placing the business in Blantyre and documenting work with households, women distributors, community kiosks and production scale-up.

Cooking fuel is tied to household health, forest loss, time, cost and livelihoods. PGA’s work sits at the intersection of clean energy, circular economy, women’s enterprise and climate resilience.

Public records include EEP Africa portfolio funding, Energy Globe World Award selection, Commonwealth-Bangladesh green investment recognition, Obama Foundation Africa Leaders, Vital Voices and Clean Cooking Alliance features.

Each blog article links to the original feature, award page, report or partner profile where available, so readers can continue into the full story behind PGA’s work.
