About us

Three Cousins Energy Ltd (3CE is our acronym) is a social impact company Founded in January 2020 with the aim of providing alternative fuels through recycling. We believe that waste can be turned into cash by recycling & currently we have ventured into plastic recycling through pyrolysis and convert into industrial fuel oil.

We have been able to raise capital, get the plant installed and commissioning done within a year and since then, we have witnessed increased demand of our main product for the last 6 months and we are still getting more queries as we get established & known in the industry.

We have 3 direct employees at the moment as we are in the first year of operations.

We can further grow by undertaking a few more steps which we plan to do strategically such as improved raw materials (waste polypropylene bags commonly known as “ngunias”) handling and investing in filtration of the oil.

Our products

Our main product is industrial fuel oil which is used as an alternative fuel in industrial setting to save on energy costs to our clients.

We have been able to attain a certificate of analysis and our industrial fuel oil meets the required threshold. We also have carbon-black which is a byproduct of the pyrolysis process and we also get it supplied to persons who develop briquettes/artificial “makaa”.

Our investment

We have invested KES. 10 million (USD 100,000) in the company to make this dream a reality and we have what it takes to produce 10,000 liters of industrial fuel oil in a month. This will be improved further in future once we enhance our raw materials handling.

Our business process

Waster / Raw material sourcing

We source our raw materials from vendors who collect and sort for us polythene bags from various dump sites in Nairobi, they bail & deliver to our site where visual quality control is done & weights confirmations.

Pyrolysis Process

Each run we can process upto 3 tons of waste polypropylene bags/"ngunias" to convert them to industrial fuel oil. The process take an average of 15 hours and we can produce between 40-60% oil from the waste processed.

Industrial Fuel Oil

The final product is done visual quality control before being stored in the main tank. We then get our clients to pick from our site or we deliver to them. This serves as alternative fuel to our clients with a saving of about 30-40% as compared to other available sources of fuel.
