Global Energy, Local Impact


Fuelling tomorrow with today’s innovations!

WIA is at the forefront of tackling Africa’s critical waste management and energy challenges with a unique, transformative approach.

Waste-to-Energy:
Africa faces a major waste management challenge, with millions of tons of waste produced annually and only a small fraction being properly managed. This situation creates an opportunity for waste-to-energy solutions that can address both waste management and energy generation.

Solar Energy:
Africa benefits from high solar irradiance, with around 2,000 to 3,000 hours of sunlight annually, making it ideal for solar power. However, only about 2% of Africa’s energy comes from solar, despite the potential for much more. This presents a substantial opportunity for expansion.

WIA delivers cutting-edge waste-to-energy and solar technology solutions, empowering municipalities with proprietary methods and strategic pricing models, ensuring full control over operations and cash flow.
