Pre-implementationLegacyPoint Group is advancing Africa’s green economy by transforming organic waste—especially used cooking vegetable oils—into clean, renewable energy. Improper disposal of used oils often harms the environment, clogging drainage systems and polluting water sources. LegacyPoint tackles this challenge by collecting waste oils from restaurants, homes, and food processors, and converting them into biodiesel through eco-friendly processes.
This biodiesel is a sustainable alternative to fossil fuels, reducing greenhouse gas emissions by up to 80%. It can power vehicles, generators, and machinery, supporting cleaner energy use in urban and industrial areas. The initiative aligns with Africa’s push for energy security, environmental sustainability, and circular economy practices.
LegacyPoint’s model not only protects ecosystems but also creates green jobs, promotes local economic development, and reduces dependence on imported fossil fuels. Their scalable solution is well-suited to African
