Mwayi Kampesi’s Forbes Africa 30 Under 30 recognition placed a young Malawian clean energy founder among the continent’s emerging business leaders. It was an early signal of the ambition behind Planet Green Africa.

The recognition celebrates entrepreneurial courage: building a company around Nyasa Moto briquettes, cleaner cooking access and a belief that agricultural waste can be transformed into value for households and communities.

Years later, the same ambition continues to shape PGA’s work. The recognition is part of a larger story of persistence, growth and Malawi-led innovation in clean energy.
