On coffee husk use. Another user turned up in redwood California near San Francisco and a local starbucks, who used the actual grounds but he has long since left trumpland for the Far East , parts unknown. The prices we work with uses the ag residues such as the sheath of the coffee bean partially pulped and softened to encapsulate less fibrous more granular wastes, s uch as coffee grounds in a water slurry. You can blend about anything from waste paper to rice straw a wide range of leaves and grasses following a few simple guidelines.. all of which are implemented in the field locally. <o:p></o:p></p><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal>There are also all kinds of ways to screw it up !

I’m after a quick overview of using coffee waste to make briquettes if anyone has the knowledge please. I’m just finishing up some work in Timor-Leste and there’s a lot of coffee waste which could be put to good use. So what is a typical mix of briquette feedstock if coffee husks are involved (approx. 7cm dia. extruded) and what are the limitations of using this material? (The waste stream is heavily seasonal and market dynamics lean towards an urban briquette market. There is very little charcoal used)<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='mso-fareast-language:EN-GB'>Regards</span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='mso-fareast-language:EN-GB'>James Robinson</span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='mso-fareast-language:EN-GB'> </span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='mso-fareast-language:EN-GB'>Zomba, Malawi</span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='mso-fareast-language:EN-GB'>Cell (Malawi): +265993032902</span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='mso-fareast-language:EN-GB'>Skype: jamesrobinson77</span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'><span style='mso-fareast-language:EN-GB'>_______________________________________________<br>Stoves mailing list<br><br>to Send a Message to the list, use the email address<br><a href="mailto:stoves@lists.bioenergylists.org">stoves@lists.bioenergylists.org</a><br><br>to UNSUBSCRIBE or Change your List Settings use the web page<br><a href="http://lists.bioenergylists.org/mailman/listinfo/stoves_lists.bioenergylists.org">http://lists.bioenergylists.org/mailman/listinfo/stoves_lists.bioenergylists.org</a><br><br>for more Biomass Cooking Stoves, News and Information see our web site:<br><a href="http://stoves.bioenergylists.org/">http://stoves.bioenergylists.org/</a><o:p></o:p></span></p></div></div></div></div></div></body></html>
