Transforming Institutional Cooking Through Clean Energy Innovation
Clean. Efficient. Affordable. Sustainable
RENO CleanTech is a women-led clean energy company pioneering the transition to modern institutional cooking across Zimbabwe. Building on extensive experience in last-mile solar energy distribution, we design, manufacture, and deploy innovative electric cooking technologies powered by solar renewable energy to help institutions replace biomass and fossil-fuel-based cooking with cleaner, healthier, and more cost-effective alternatives.
Our integrated approach combines advanced e-cooking technologies, solar-powered energy infrastructure, smart energy management, and inclusive financing to deliver practical solutions for schools, hospitals, humanitarian organisations, refugee settlements, and community feeding programmes.
About Us
Across Africa, institutional kitchens continue to rely heavily on firewood, charcoal, diesel, and LPG. These traditional cooking fuels are expensive, environmentally destructive, and expose kitchen staff to dangerous levels of indoor air pollution.
RENO CleanTech exists to change that.
We develop sustainable institutional cooking systems that improve public health, strengthen energy security, reduce operating costs, and support climate resilience.
Our solutions are specifically engineered for institutions preparing hundreds to thousands of meals every day, delivering reliable performance while significantly reducing fuel consumption, carbon emissions, and deforestation
Our Mission
To accelerate the transition to modern, affordable, and climate-smart institutional cooking by delivering innovative clean e-cooking technologies and solar-powered infrastructure that improve public health, strengthen energy security, and protect the environment
Our Vision
A future where every institution across Africa prepares meals using clean, renewable, and affordable energy—improving lives while protecting forests and the climate.
