<div>Has there ever been a ban on charcoal that has worked anywhere in Africa? </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><i>“Imposing bans doesn’t disrupt the entire value chain and typically never achieves its desired objective,” she said, adding that instead, soaring demand causes a spike in wood fuel prices, making its production attractive to outsiders and encouraging
illegal and unregulated harvesters to join the industry. <br>
</i></div>
<div><i><br>
</i></div>
<i>Perceptions of charcoal and firewood use and production are bleak. “Quite often people have a negative association with the concept of wood fuel,” said Ruben Walker, chief executive and founder of African Clean Energy (ACE).<br>
<br>
As a result of this misconception, governments end up enacting policies that ban or restrict wood fuel trade, hindering people from practicing traditional livelihoods, he said.<br>
<br>
“Putting up a ban is an effort to control the levels of production and trade of wood fuel, but not necessarily its consumption,” said Phosiso Sola, a scientist working on natural resources governance, bioenergy and development of sustainable agroforestry value
chains with World Agroforestry. </i>
