User Roles & Responsibilities

Admin

Oversees compliance, validates payments/redemptions, generates system-wide reports, and ensures operational efficiency.

Waste Collector

Manages collection points, records waste type/quantity, issues invoices, and facilitates cash or accrual payments.

Kitchen Manager

Runs biodigester operations, compresses gas into cylinders, manages open kitchens, and ensures safety compliance.

Distributor

Supplies gas cylinders and burners to customers, updates sales records, and manages distribution logistics.

Customer

Supplies waste, chooses payment options, purchases cylinders, uses metered gas, and cooks in community kitchens.

End-to-End Process Flow

1
Waste Collection & Sorting
Customers deliver agricultural, household, or animal waste to designated collection points. Waste is weighed, categorized, and digital invoices are generated with flexible payment options (immediate cash or monthly accrual).
2
Biodigester Processing
Collected waste is transported to biodigester facilities where it's converted into biogas through anaerobic digestion. The system tracks input volumes, gas production efficiency, and manages by-products like organic fertilizer.
3
Gas Compression & Cylinder Filling
Produced biogas is compressed into cylinders for distribution. Kitchen managers monitor compression processes, track cylinder stock levels, and ensure quality control before distribution.
4
Distribution & Sales
Distributors supply metered gas cylinders and burners to customers. Sales are recorded digitally with M-Pesa payment integration. Customers can redeem accrued waste balances to offset gas costs.
5
Community Kitchen Operations
Open kitchens in marketplaces provide cooking facilities with metered gas cylinders. Customers pay per cooking session, with options to use accrued balances from waste contributions.
6
Monitoring & Compliance
Admin oversees all operations, validates payment redemptions, ensures regulatory compliance, and generates comprehensive reports on system performance and environmental impact.
