[Stoves] going bananas

[Crispin Pemberton-Pigott]

Dear Richard

I was looking at your list of formulations shown at
http://home.fuse.net/engineering/biomass/Biomass_Fuel_Briquette_Formulations
.pdf and wondered about Water Hyacinth (lilies). It is primarily the binder?
It is available in such huge quantities like Jinja where it collects at the
Source of the Nile. It always seems to have been an expense for the power
station that turning it into a viable binder for use nearby might give it a
small value.

Similar question re cardboard boxes - it is the main binder when used? It
seems to be basically Kraft paper and glue.

Thanks
Crispin
