At Forest Energy, we are committed to creating a greener future by growing oilseed trees for renewable energy. Based in the heart of Kilifi, Kenya, we work closely with local smallholder farmers to grow regenerative vegetable oil, which is exported to EU markets for the production of renewable diesel. Our innovative approach not only reduces CO2 emissions from transport but also fosters environmental stewardship through tree planting initiatives.

Our mission at Forest Energy is to mitigate climate change while boosting local economies. By collaborating with farmers in Kenya, we ensure that our operations are sustainable and beneficial to the communities we serve. The vegetable oil we produce is grown using regenerative farming practices, which restore soil health and biodiversity, making a positive impact on the environment and providing farmers with increased income.

We believe in the power of community. Our work in Kilifi empowers local farmers by providing them with the resources and training needed to grow high-quality vegetable oil. This not only increases their income but also promotes sustainable agricultural practices. Together, we are building a resilient and prosperous community that thrives alongside our environmental efforts.

Though our sales office is located in the Netherlands, our roots are deeply embedded in the Kenyan soil. Our proximity to the port of Mombasa enables efficient export of our products to the EU, ensuring that our renewable diesel reaches markets where it can make a significant impact on reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Our operations are set to commence in October 2024, marking the beginning of a new chapter in sustainable energy production.
