This Murang’a man makes petrol and diesel from plastic waste to power his car

James Murichu’s passion for innovation saw him immerse into diesel making, after studying the chemistry behind it. In collaboration with his colleague Michael Nthenge, the two read books and used their knowledge to recycle plastic waste and manufacture petrol and diesel. Murichu uses diesel to drive his car, while the petrol is used in smaller engines such as water pumps, power saws and generators.
