Our mission is to build a waste-to-energy supply platform capable of delivering one million tonnes of renewable feedstock annually; reducing emissions and creating economic opportunity across the continent.
Founded in partnership with Africa-focused trader Mocoh, our collaboration combines the enterprising spirit and regional expertise of the Bioscape team and the experience and reputation of the Mocoh Group.
With a clear vision to position Africa at the forefront of the global transition to clean energy. Our operations help reduce harmful emissions and create economic opportunities across the continent, making Bioscape a significant catalyst for positive change in the energy sector.
We identify underutilised waste streams and convert them into scalable renewable fuels through aggregation, processing and global market supply.
Unlocking value from agricultural and industrial waste while laying the foundation for Africa’s transition to circular energy systems.
OUR PRODUCTS
Palm Kernel Shells (PKS)
Palm Kernel Shells are the hard shells that encase the palm kernel, left behind after palm oil has been extracted from the fruit and the kernel removed. Naturally dense and low in moisture, ash, and sulphur, PKS delivers a high calorific value of around 3,800–4,200 kcal/kg (16–17.5 MJ/kg), comparable to wood pellets. Its small, uniform size makes it easy to store, transport, and feed into existing systems. PKS is a trusted fuel for industrial boilers, power plants, and cement kilns, either alone or blended with coal to cut emissions. It is also a raw material for activated carbon. PKS offers industries a steady, cost-effective alternative to coal, backed by a supply chain that grows alongside palm oil production.
Cashew Nut Shell Liquid (CNSL)
This is a natural resin found in the honeycomb structure of the cashew nutshell, and is a byproduct of the nut processing industry.
CNSL is known for its thermal and chemical resistance properties. It is used in the production of friction linings, paints, varnishes and epoxy resins. CNSL is also used in power generation, marine fuels and as a binding agent in bitumen.
Palm Oil Mill Effluent (POME)
POME is a waste product generated in the processing of palm oil, one of the most widely produced vegetable oils in the world.
POME can be treated and used for biogas production, a renewable energy source.
It is also a renowned biofuel feedstock and is partially composed of biomatters that can be used in organic fertilisation.
Biomass
Biomass is a renewable energy source derived from organic materials like plants, animals, agricultural residues, wood chips, and algae. Biomass has diverse applications, including power generation, biofuel production for transportation, and sustainable heating solutions for homes and industries. It also plays a key role in producing biochemicals and bio-based materials, supporting a circular economy while reducing reliance on fossil fuels.
Cashew Nut Shells (CNS)
Cashew Nut Shells are the hard outer shells left behind after the cashew kernel has been removed during processing. The shells contain a natural oil known as Cashew Nut Shell Liquid (CNSL), which gives them a high calorific value of around 4,300–5,000 kcal/kg (18–21 MJ/kg), comparable to wood and higher than many common biomass fuels. Cashew nut shells burn with strong heat output and are used as fuel in industrial boilers, kilns, and furnaces, often alongside other biomass. Cashew nut shells offer industries an energy-dense renewable fuel, turning a processing residue into a dependable source of heat.
Palm Kernel Cake (PKC)
Palm Kernel Cake is the solid residue left after oil has been pressed from the palm kernel. It is the kernel itself, crushed and mechanically de-oiled, rather than the shell or the fruit. With 5–10% residual oil and a high proportion of fibre and structural carbohydrates, PKC is a valuable feedstock for anaerobic digestion. PKC performs especially well for biogas production, especially when co-digested with other feedstock, with trials producing biogas of over 50% methane. The resulting biogas can be used for heat, power, or upgraded to biomethane, while the leftover digestate can be returned to the land as a nutrient-rich fertilizer. PKC turns surplus agricultural residue into a reliable source of renewable gas.
Acid Oils
Acid Oils are a byproduct of the edible oil refining process.
They are rich in free fatty acids (FFA) and typically dark in color with a distinctive odor.
Though not suitable for direct consumption, acid oils serve various industrial purposes.
Applications include biofuel production, soap manufacturing for saponification, and the creation of industrial products like lubricants.
We are involved at every stage of the value chain to ensure quality throughout the process.
We are a young and dynamic team at the forefront of advancing sustainable energy and transition fuels in Africa, and with a vision to build a circular trade economy.
Committed to excellence and integrity, we are disciplined and professional, always acting with transparency. We achieve this by empowering our people and partners, cultivating a collaborative and creative environment that encourages every team member to prosper and succeed.
We empower our people and partners, cultivating a collaborative and creative environment in which everyone prospers and succeeds
