Rural populations forced reliance on biomass and kerosene for their energy needs is causing over 1.6M# deaths per annum. Their lack of access to clean water causes over 5M people to die; 2M of them are children under the age of 5. RVE.SOL's _Changing Rural Life Forever_ initiative is creating alternative, renewable energy choices for the rural poor, allowing them to take advantage of natural resources like sunlight, cattle manure and raw water to manage their own way to a better future. Our _KUDURA_ rural village energy hub is community managed; provides communities with potable water, solar electricity, biogas for cooking and organic fertiliser for agriculture. A holistic approach, the solution seeks to target the four areas of rural life that prevalently cause poverty to propagate: 1. Access to clean water to obviate transmission of water borne disease 2. Access to renewable electricity to obviate the dependance on kerosene for light and improve children's opportunity to study at night 3. Access to Biogas to obviate mass destruction of primary forest in a bid to be able to cook food 4. Access to fertiliser to reinvigorate over-used soils and so increase quality and quantity of crop harvest for subsistence farmers. Ultimately, this approach seeks to create wealth for rural farmers by offering a choie of more cost effective and efficient services utilising naturally available resources.

Florafuel AG has developed an innovative process that enables municipalities, farmers, compost plant operators and traders to use biomass and biogenic residues (such as grass, leaves, reeds, wet meadows, roadside greens and silage) as high-quality renewable CO2-neutral energy sources To prepare pellets and briquettes. The required systems and dryers are developed by florafuel AG and distributed on the market. The worldwide patented florafuel process (first patent application 2003) opens up completely new possibilities for regional bioenergy production for companies, cities and municipalities. In this way, previously unused energy resources will become economically viable and environmentally friendly in terms of energy. The optimized by the florafuel process and environmentally friendly fuel stands out not only by a comparatively high fuel value, but also by an extremely positive energy balance. Since the florafuel process is geared solely to the energy recovery of organic residues and waste materials, the florafuel technology is also not in competition with agricultural feed and food production. In addition, as an alternative to composting and fermentation, the process supports the reduction of polluting emissions such as nitrous oxide, methane and ammonia. Another advantage of the florafuel process is that the bioenergy or energy sources that can be supplied via the process are suitable for baseload. Since the combustion or gasification of florafuel fuels is decentralized, it is possible to provide precisely the energy that is needed in the form of electricity and heat on site at any time. Thus, the florafuel process is an ideal addition to the bioenergy mix from an ecological as well as an economic point of view.
