It is a good work that you are doing. How big is your portable charcoal making kiln? Here in Indonesia, they grow so much rice and yield 3 times a year. Farmers take about 60-70 % of the saps, the rest is left on the field and burned to enrich the fuel. Unfortunately from that waste they probably get 10% char the rest is ash.<br>
We have made a simple updraft gasifier for them to use. The idea was to give the farmer much better bio-char and burn the gas coming from the gasifier, just to help to keep the air clean.<br>
If we do it everybody wants, but it is hard for us to move these people. Who wants to supply a very inexpensive gasifier to every village? The government is not interested, people are poor don't even have money to buy the unit even it is very inexpensive and very easy to operate.<br>
We burn rice husk in our charcoal production to dry the waste sawdust for the briquette machines. Rice husk has so much ash, we just dumped them in front of our factory, now they come and pick up the ash to spread in the land.<br>
We must still try to do our best, keep our world clean. Hope there will be many people like you, than we can get there sooner..<br>
