Revenue model

1. Electricity Sales (Licensed Provider): Mandulis Energy operates as a licensed electricity provider serving residential, commercial, and industrial connections under a 20-year license (renewable) or Power Purchase Agreement (PPA). Revenue generated from electricity generation and distribution through mini-grids and on-grid projects.
2. Carbon Removal Credits (CDR): Revenue from high-quality engineered biochar production and carbon removal credits. The BECCS system captures CO2 to create biochar stable for 1,000 years, generating CDR credits. Sites organized into clusters of 4 to enable carbon removals of more than 1 million tons per 20 years.
3. Renewable Energy Certificates (REC): Revenue from REC credits through clean electricity generation. The company offers REC credits to customers seeking to offset their energy consumption.
4. Agricultural Processing Services: REPARLE LTD subsidiary focuses on productive use of energy including agriculture processing (washing, drying, milling) for rural farming communities. Agricultural residues sold back to Mandulis Energy as biomass feedstock.
5. Clean Cooking Solutions: Non-carbonized pellets and Tier IV rated energy efficient cookstoves (Tier IV rated) sold as sustainable cooking fuel alternatives to wood fuel.

Core offering

Mandulis Energy develops, owns, and operates renewable energy projects in Africa, combining off-grid hybrid mini-grids (Solar PV plus BECCS biomass gasification) with the Earth Energy 20MW grid-tied biomass power project in Gulu, Northern Uganda. Through its REPARLE LTD subsidiary, it also delivers agricultural processing services, Tier IV energy efficient cookstoves, and Kyakula biomass pellets for clean cooking, with engineered biochar produced as a carbon sequestration by-product.

Product overview

Mandulis Energy develops renewable energy projects across Africa, primarily in Uganda, combining off-grid and on-grid solutions. The core offerings include a hybrid mini-grid system using Solar PV and Bioenergy with Carbon Capture and Storage (BECCS) for rural electrification, and the Earth Energy 20MW grid-tied biomass power project. The subsidiary REPARLE LTD focuses on agriculture processing and clean cooking solutions. The product portfolio also includes Tier IV certified energy efficient cookstoves, Kyakula Pellets (agricultural residue-based fuel), and engineered biochar as a carbon sequestration by-product. Together, these products address the energy trilemma of affordability, reliability, and sustainability through circular economy principles.

Products and services

• Earth Energy (20MW Grid-Tied Biomass Power Project) Earth Energy is a 20MW grid-tied biomass power project in Gulu, Northern Uganda, developed by Mandulis Energy with backing from KfW, African Development Bank, and Power Africa. Once constructed, it is intended to be the largest grid-tied biomass gasification power plant in Africa, feeding baseload renewable electricity into the national grid for utilities and large institutional offtakers.
• Hybrid Mini-Grid Power System Mandulis Energy's Hybrid Mini-Grid Power System combines Solar PV with BECCS (Bioenergy with Carbon Capture and Storage) using renewable biomass gasification to provide 24/7 clean, reliable, and affordable electricity to off-grid rural communities in Sub-Saharan Africa, replacing diesel generation with carbon-neutral baseload power.
• Tier IV Energy Efficient Cookstoves UN-certified Tier IV rated gasifier cookstoves sold as sustainable cooking fuel alternatives to wood fuel for rural households and small businesses in Uganda, with co-production of engineered biochar as a carbon sequestration by-product.
• Kyakula Pellets Kyakula Pellets are a branded biomass fuel product made from blended agricultural residues including rice husks, peanut shells, coffee husks, maize cobs, and bagasse. Sold as a cleaner, more affordable alternative to traditional wood fuels for cooking, retailing at approximately 25% less than wood fuels.
• Engineered Biochar Engineered Biochar is the carbon-rich solid by-product of Mandulis's BECCS pyrolysis process, sold for soil fertility improvement, water retention, and as sand replacement in cement and concrete industries. High-temperature grades remain stable for 1,000 years and are sold into voluntary carbon markets as durable carbon removals.
• REPARLE Agricultural Processing and Clean Cooking Services REPARLE LTD is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Mandulis Energy providing productive-use-of-energy services to rural farming communities in Uganda, including agricultural processing (washing, drying, milling) and clean cooking solutions using Tier IV cookstoves and Kyakula pellets, with operations supported by USAID's Power Africa program.

Emerging players

• Charm Industrial: U.S.-based BECCS carbon-removal company producing biochar/CO2 from biomass waste for durable carbon removal credits; directly comparable on BECCS technology stack and CDR credit monetization.
• Novocarbo (Carbofex): Finnish-German biochar producer (formerly Carbofex) operating BECCS-style pyrolysis facilities selling durable CDR credits; comparability on biochar production and carbon credit origination.

Broad incumbents

• M-KOPA: Leading PAYG solar home systems provider across East Africa serving millions of off-grid households; comparable customer base but competitive threat via simpler solar-only architecture.
• C-Quest Capital: Carbon project developer operating cookstove and biochar carbon credit programs across Sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia; comparable on CDR/REC credit origination strategy and African counterparty exposure.

Direct peers

• Equatorial Power: Uganda-based biomass and biogas mini-grid developer operating rural electrification projects; competes for the same Ugandan off-grid customers and biomass feedstock.
• Sistema.bio: Mexican/Kenyan biogas and biomass energy company deploying small-scale bioenergy systems for rural smallholders in emerging markets; comparable business model and customer base.
• Husk Power Systems: Operates biomass gasification mini-grids (with solar hybridization) serving rural communities in Africa and India; most direct comparable to Mandulis' hybrid mini-grid and Earth Energy 20MW project.
• PowerGen Renewable Energy: East African mini-grid developer building renewable (solar, biomass, hybrid) microgrids for off-grid communities in Kenya, Tanzania, and Nigeria; direct overlap in mini-grid product and East Africa geography.
• BURN Manufacturing: East African clean cookstove manufacturer (Kenya-based) producing efficient biomass and pellet cookstoves comparable to Mandulis' Tier IV gasifier cookstove and Kyakula pellets product line.
• BBOXX: UK-based off-grid solar+battery mini-grid and PAYG energy provider across East and West Africa; competes with Mandulis for rural electrification customers and for institutional capital.
