Biomass Boiler at Aga Khan University Hospital, Nairobi Kenya

The Aga Khan University Hospital in Nairobi launched a project to reduce its carbon emissions by monitoring and analyzing diesel fuel usage, which was the largest contributor. The hospital replaced its diesel boilers with a biomass boiler, utilizing wood waste to generate steam for various applications. This shift reduced diesel fuel consumption from 85,000L to 15,000L per month, significantly lowering costs and carbon emissions, contributing to the hospital's sustainability efforts.
