What We do
We supply steam to industrialists using a sustainable, solid biomass, CO2 neutral, replacement for fossil fuel. Part of the unique formula of AFG is a uniquely developed state-of-the-art biomass burner.
Our turnkey systems provide significant cost savings per ton of steam delivered. The biomass burner is designed and manufactured by our own engineers and technicians and can be easily retrofitted to an existing fossil fuel boiler/burner combination.
These days climate change is high on all agendas and there is a global need to reduce CO2 emissions.
Alien Fuel® offers customers an alternative to fossil fuels that is more efficient and environmentally friendly. Being a win-win for the customer, it also helps the Earth and thus our future.
Our aim is to contribute to a reduced carbon footprint, clear South African land from invasive species, and create jobs at the same time.
Our Aim: To Fuel a Cleaner Future
