These manuals provide all that you need to make and operate a fuel briquette press.
The User's Manual is a step-by-step guide to briquette production by an individual or small group. It describes the process of collecting, blending and using materials for briquette production. Basic work organization hints are also provided to enable a team to begin production for profit.
This is a unique yet proven technology that reduces fuel wood use and deforestation. Fuel Briquettes can be made from everyday agricultural and commercial residues such as weeds, leaves, sawdust, rice husks, carton board and scrap paper.
The Legacy Foundation and its projects have tested the briquette making process over ten years in a wide variety of environments and conditions--in urban and suburban and rural areas in Malawi, Haiti, Kenya, Zimbabwe, Nicaragua, Peru, Mali and the United States.
