About Us
Our Story
Committed to Eradicating Energy-Poverty in Africa
D-Olivette was born from a simple belief — that waste should never be wasted. Our team brings together engineers, scientists, farmers, and environmental thinkers who are passionate about solving real problems in energy, food, and climate. With backgrounds in electrical engineering, biochemistry, systems design, agriculture, and finance, we combine science with heart to create practical solutions that change lives.
We build smart biodigesters that turn everyday waste into clean cooking gas, electricity, and organic fertilizer. This helps families cook safely, farmers grow more food, and communities breathe cleaner air.
At D-Olivette, we’re not just creating technology; we’re building a movement for cleaner, fairer, and more resilient communities—one household, one farm, and one village at a time.
Our Vision
To pioneer a world where communities thrive in a closed-loop harmony, transforming today's organic waste into tomorrow's clean energy and fertile soil. We envision a future where no resource is wasted, where every home and farm is empowered with sustainable energy, and where resilience is woven into the fabric of daily life—from the food we grow to the air we breathe.
Our Mission
Our mission is to make this vision a reality by equipping communities with intelligent technology. We enhance traditional biodigesters with AI and sensor-driven devices that efficiently convert organic waste into clean cooking gas, renewable electricity, and rich biofertilizer.
By 2030, our goal is to bring these simple, intelligent systems to 1 million rural households and farms across Africa. This grassroots network will create a monumental impact:
• Cutting 2 million tons of CO₂ emissions—clearing the air we all share.
• Saving 1 million trees—preserving vital ecosystems and biodiversity.
• Improving food security for over 1 million people—by turning waste into the nourishment that grows healthier, more abundant food.
We are building a future where waste is no longer an endpoint, but a beginning. A future where communities are empowered, the climate is protected, and sustainability is built from the ground up.
We are Accelerating Sustainability & the SDGs
Our Work Is Shaped by Our Core Values
01.
Compassion
We are driven by the daily realities of rural women in Africa, for whom energy poverty is not a concept, but a constant burden. Our work begins by listening to their experiences, and our mission is dedicated to delivering our solution across the continent, community by community.
02.
Innovation
We are driven by a philosophy of Constant and Never-Ending Improvement (CANI). This commitment to evolution is at our core, propelling us from one iteration to the next. Since launch, it has guided the rapid refinement of our products, ensuring each new version delivers greater impact for the communities we serve.
03.
Respect
We lead with empathy and respect in every interaction, honoring the inherent dignity of every individual—from our team members to the women and girls in the communities we serve. This principle is the foundation of our work, ensuring that our actions consistently reflect our values.
04.
Sustainability
We are relentlessly focused on a singular goal: proving that organic waste is not a threat, but a resource. Every day, we work to transform this global challenge into the foundation of a more sustainable and resilient world.
