Problem: Many communities, especially in remote or underserved areas, are disconnected from the broader energy grid and struggle to efficiently manage waste, missing the opportunity to convert waste to energy.
Solution: Our concept revolves around a digital platform that bridges the gap between communities with waste management challenges and tech-savvy environmental enthusiasts. The platform facilitates the establishment of community-driven microgrids that convert waste to energy using simple, low-cost technology readily available in the market. By encouraging local participation and sharing knowledge resources, the platform empowers communities to adopt renewable energy practices.

Industry: Waste Management
Uniqueness: There's growing interest in renewable energy and sustainable waste management but few platforms centralize information for community use in this specific combination. Moderate competition exists mainly from disparate forums, making the market ripe for a comprehensive knowledge hub.
Market share: As a community-driven knowledge-sharing platform in the niche sector of waste-to-energy within microgrids, capturing 1% of community-based renewable projects within 5 years is realistic given strong growth in green initiatives.
