German Technology, Kenyan Passion
Track record: the technology behind LushBert
LushBert is not starting from zero. The biogas technology we bring to Kenya is the same technology our partners — Bert Energy GmbH (Germany) and Kankyo Bert (India) — have already built and operated at scale, on three continents.
Bert Energy — 140+ installations since 2012
Bert Energy GmbH, founded 2010 in Leverkusen, Germany, has built and licensed biogas plants across Europe, Asia and Africa, producing over 70 million kWh annually from its European sites alone.

Why this matters for LushBert
Every LushBert programme builds on proven engineering rather than an unproven concept. Project Mavuno will be the first installation of this technology on Kenyan soil — backed by more than a decade of operating experience elsewhere.
