About this document
Sustainable Charcoal Production Project by Lauren Shaw is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The Efficient Charcoal project aims to reduce deforestation by creating charcoal from local resources like corn husks rather than wood. The students conducted experiments burning 4 pounds of corn husks and grinding them into charcoal. Two pounds of the charcoal lasted 1 hour and 35 minutes for cooking. While more testing is needed, the initial results show potential for this sustainable alternative to cut less trees and support rural incomes by selling the charcoal briquettes produced from local waste mater
