I am so much interested on this briquette. I am working with youth in Tabora region. With my stay there for two years, I see the common people are using a lot of charcoal and firewood. Passing some areas in Tabora, there are places where trees have been cut. I haven't heard program from the local people there in planting trees. So there, I would to know more about your project... if given a chance,I would like to do something like what you do, helping the environment and at the same time, creating a jobs for youth and the community.

We don't have a factory in Tanzania. But there are several project working on producing briquettes there, including ARTI-Tanzania in Dar and the Mkaa Bora company in Tanga. Dear Betty,

We aim to focus on efficient technology and renewable fuels across the entire energy supply chain, so, yes, that would include jikos, although we are not developing them. We aim to use and perfect what's available from clean cookstove companies, either for domestic or institutional use. We are also interested in efficient technology when it comes to converting woody biomass to charcoal or briquettes. Regards, Kim Dear Samuel,

I am a wood scientist ( biomass energy option) and am impressed by the initiative you have undertaken for the sustainable utilization of the natural resources. Briquette production just being one of the ways to to maximize on heat, i would also like to enquire wether you put emphasis on Jiko design specifications. Kudos for the good work.
