We are testing the feasibility of coffee husk waste as an alternative energy source to create added value and improve energy efficiency in coffee production.
Project Type
- Test Potential Solutions
THE PROBLEM
Farmers earn limited income due to minimal post-harvest processing of their coffee produce. This income is further reduced by the need to repay debts to collectors from operational and livelihood installments during the non-harvest season, leaving little room for investment in improved practices that could enhance the value of their coffee products. Meanwhile, coffee production generates large amounts of waste, particularly coffee husks. Due to the absence of proper waste management systems, this waste remains unutilized.
THE SOLUTION
Kopernik conducted a pre-feasibility study on waste-to-energy solutions using coffee husks to increase added value and improve energy efficiency in coffee production.
THE EXPECTED IMPACT
By conducting this study and implementing appropriate technology to utilize coffee waste, the expected outcomes include reducing waste from coffee production, increasing the value of coffee products through more sustainable production processes, and enhancing post-harvest processing through the use of renewable energy and improved energy efficiency.
