[Stoves] Coffee Pulp/Cherry

USDA is supporting a pilot project in Honduras to show that anaerobic digestion of coffee pulp can generate methane that can be used to dry the coffee beans.

Subject: [Stoves] Coffee Pulp/Cherry

Hello,

I've become exposed to the extremely large, and generally un-utilized, waste stream of coffee pulps in Guatemala (and probably many other places).  I've worked with coffee husks, but never with the cherry.  Does anyone know of productive ways to use this waste material?

Thank you!
Boston
