This handbook has been prepared as part of a project implemented by Tanzania Industrial Research and Development Organization (TIRDO) and REPOA in effort to address climate damage caused by uncontrolled cutting of trees for firewood and charcoal production.
Tanzania has not fully addressed the issue of climate effects resulting from dependence on biomass (firewood and charcoal) as primary source of energy for households. TIRDO in partnership with REPOA has implemented a two-year project to address the issue of low adoption of biomass briquettes as a substitute for firewood and charcoal. The focus of the project is to identify key players in biomass briquetting from production to end users. The project also examines the status on production capacity, technology used, challenges facing producers and end users, then bring about solutions tailored to fit with what has been observed on the ground.
Among the knowledge dissemination tools is the handbook that explains various steps to follow to produce quality biomass briquettes. The handbook helps biomass briquette producers, related stakeholders, and those planning to start this business by providing specific guidelines on quality biomass briquette production.
