Charcoal's cleaner and cheaper replacement. Made in Mwanza.
KuniSMART is a clean biomass briquette manufactured from sawdust, timber waste, and agricultural byproducts. It replaces charcoal and firewood in households, food businesses, and institutions across the Lake Zone — at a lower cost, with significantly less smoke, and without cutting a single tree
Burns up to 30% more efficiently than charcoal. Compressed biomass holds more usable energy per kilogram than the loose charcoal it replaces. Less fuel used, more meals cooked, lower daily spend.
Significantly less smoke. KuniSMART produces minimal smoke and particulate emissions — making cooking safer for the people doing it, and acceptable for institutions where indoor air quality is regulated.
Made from waste, not trees. KuniSMART is manufactured from sawdust, timber offcuts, and agricultural waste sourced from sawmills and markets across Mwanza. No trees are cut. No forests are stripped. The supply chain is local and circular by design.
Compatible with what you already have. KuniSMART burns in any cooking setup designed for wood or charcoal — open three-stone fires, traditional jikos, modern stoves, institutional kitchens. It works best in JikoSMART, but switching does not require a new stove.
The Government of Tanzania has prohibited charcoal and firewood as cooking fuel in institutions cooking for more than 100 people. KuniSMART is among the compliant alternatives.
For schools, prisons, hospitals, and large institutional kitchens, the question is no longer whether to switch — it is which compliant fuel to switch to. KuniSMART is locally produced, reliably supplied, and significantly cheaper than the gas-based alternatives most institutions are being pushed toward.
Built for the people who cook every day.
Schools & Institutions: Schools, prisons, hospitals, and large institutional kitchens use KuniSMART to comply with the national ban on charcoal and firewood for institutions cooking for over 100 people — while reducing fuel costs significantly compared to compliant alternatives like LPG. Bulk supply with regular delivery is available across the Lake Zone.
Food Entrepreneurs:Mama lishe, chip vendors, caterers, and small restaurants use KuniSMART to cut daily fuel costs without changing how they cook. The briquettes hold heat longer than charcoal, burn evenly, and are priced for daily commercial use.
Households: Families across the Lake Zone use KuniSMART as their primary cooking fuel — buying it at the same price point they were used to paying for charcoal, with less smoke in the kitchen and longer burn time per purchase.
Government & Development Partners: Chabri Energy supplies KuniSMART through clean energy empowerment programmes deployed by government and development partners — reaching rural households, women's cooperatives, and underserved communities at scale.
You can buy by the kilo or by the ton.
