EkoAyiti · Launching Hinche, Haiti

Clean energy for a greener, cleaner Haiti.

We turn agricultural waste into ecological charcoal — a non-toxic, smokeless, longer-burning fuel that costs less, protects Haiti's forests, and replaces the wood charcoal driving deforestation.

The crisis we're solving

Haiti is cooking on its own forests.

More than 80% of households rely on wood charcoal for daily cooking — fueling an annual loss of roughly 30 million trees and accelerating one of the world's most severe deforestation crises.

  • Over 90% of Haiti's original forests have already been lost.
  • 946,500 metric tons of charcoal are consumed nationwide each year.1
  • Charcoal is the country's 2nd-largest agricultural value chain, behind only mangoes.1

Our solution

Ecological charcoal, made from what's already there.

EkoAyiti's eco-charcoal is produced from agricultural waste — an abundant, renewable resource. It burns cleaner, lasts longer, and costs less than wood charcoal, with no smoke and no felled trees.

STEP 01

Collect

Crop residues and agricultural waste are gathered from local farms — turning a disposal problem into raw material.

STEP 02

Carbonize & press

Waste is carbonized and compressed into clean briquettes — non-toxic, smokeless, and engineered to burn longer.

STEP 03

Distribute

Briquettes reach households and small businesses through local vendors and community partners — affordable and accessible.
