Creating a Sustainable Affordable Energy Alternative in Gaza

“Harnessing their degrees and their desire to create sustainable affordable energy alternatives for their cash-strapped fellow Palestinians in Gaza, the trio founded the Olive Jift Project – a startup that turns “jift”, byproducts from olive oil pressing, into fuel pellets for home heating and cooking.”

…”The team hopes to make a meaningful impact, if even on a micro-level, by creating a sustainable product that is affordable to Gaza’s residents and helps alleviate chronic energy shortages while redressing a growing area of environmental concern.”
