Upgrading and Manufacturing of a Unit for Converting Agricultural Wastes into Briquettes to be Used as Fuel
The project will manufacture a unit that converts agricultural wastes into briquettes to be used to replace fossil fuel. The units will be used in Kalubia Governorate.
The project's objectives are:
1. To convert biomass into a solid fuel (Briquettes) to be used as an energy source that is equivalent to millions of Ton Oil Equivalent/ year.
2. To convert the agriculture waste into uniform shaped briquettes that is easy to transport and store. The briquettes have better physical and combustion characteristics than the initial waste.
3. To kill insects & diseases as well as to reduce the destructive fires risk in countryside.
4. To improve the combustion efficiency of the existing traditional furnaces by using the produces briquettes.
5. To reduce several million tons of CO2 emissions by field burning .
17 labor will be trained on manufacturing the briquetting unit. In addition, at least 15 person will be trained in the field on using the unit to produce briquette fuel.
