Production and Dissemination of Biomass Briquettes and Gasifier Stoves in Tanzania to Reduce Deforestration

The project “Production and Dissemination of Biomass Briquettes and Gasifier Stoves in Tanzania” was designed to produce biomass briquettes from wood waste and agricultural waste. The project beneficiaries were local households in Dar Es Salaam accessing cleaner and cheaper energy source than the traditional charcoal. One innovative feature of the project was that it offers training to entrepreneurs for biomass briquette-making and fabrication of gasifier stoves. This guaranteed market and fair price for briquettes producers and consumers.
