Project Mavuno — LushBert's demonstration plant on Lush Farm
Project Mavuno is a 350 kg/day biogas demonstration plant being built on Lush Farm in Kenya — a direct Lush Bert Ltd investment, and the site that will show what LushBert's technology can do on Kenyan soil.
Why a demonstration plant matters
Until a Kenyan installation is up and running, LushBert's track record rests on reference plants in India, the Czech Republic and elsewhere. Project Mavuno changes that: once complete, it becomes the local proof point for schools, cooperative members and communities considering LushBert's technology — a site people can visit, see, and learn from directly.
Where it sits
Project Mavuno is built at Lush Farm, the working farm operated by LushBert's Kenyan co-founder Anthony Muigai — a site that combines pig, poultry and fish farming, a butchery, and Black Soldier Fly production. That mix of organic waste streams makes it a realistic, working test case for the technology, not a laboratory demonstration.
The technology
350 kg/day organic input
Sized for farm-scale waste volumes — manure, food and processing waste from Lush Farm's own operations.
PON self-mixing technology
Bert Energy's patented approach uses the biogas produced to continuously mix the substrate itself — no separate mixing motor, lower running costs, and one less thing that can break.
Outputs
Clean cooking gas and nutrient-rich digestate (fertiliser) from farm waste that would otherwise need to be managed or disposed of.
German engineering, Kenyan build
Based on Bert Energy's proven farm-scale biogas design, built and commissioned in Kenya with Lush Bert Ltd's local team.
Status
Project Mavuno is currently under construction. Once commissioned, it will operate as LushBert's flagship reference installation in Kenya — supporting the School Biogas Programme, the 3BL Cooperative and future community projects with a real, visitable example of the technology in daily use.
