About Us

We Are Pioneers In The World Of Renewable Energy

Welcome to CIST-Africa, the pioneering business organization globally recognized for commercializing the production of second-generation bioethanol fuel from waste cellulose biomass such as water hyacinth and sugarcane bagasse.

We are committed to sustainability and affordability. Our products, such as ethanol stoves and cooking fuel, are designed to be cost-effective and environmentally friendly, making clean energy accessible to low-income households.

Our Safi Ethanol Stoves come in double or single burner models. These non-pressurized stoves are designed to prevent spilling, leaking, fires, and explosions.

We produce 95% hydrated ethanol cooking fuel using locally available raw materials. Our bioethanol fuel is affordable due to our cost-effective sourcing, and it boasts a high calorific value of 4.99 Kcal/g, allowing one litre of water to boil in just 3 minutes. The fuel burns slowly, with one litre lasting up to five hours on high power, and emits neither soot nor smell.
