I would like to update you on the fuel briquette’s work in Bukavu. All 10 machines installed in this city back in 2008 are currently active and pressing.
Myself, I am now based in Goma working with Africa Conservation Fund and their fuel briquettes program in Virunga National Park. Working side by side with the director of the park Dr. Emmanuel de Merode, and the ICCN (Congolese Wildlife Authority) this project aims to install 5 press machines a day.
Nevertheless, I am still actively involved with helping further local organizations in South Kivu. Five new machines have been donated to this voluntary project, and I will be shortly traveling to Bukavu to identify the lucky winners!
Virginia, you are doing so well. I am a copywriter in London and if you ever want any help writing promotional materials for the briquette programme, I would be so pleased to contribute to the cause. Take care – Debbie

the fuel briquette press machine,
To develop my project of agro pastoral farm in the Burkina Faso, I’m in search and I want to buy or made for Sapouy village in Burkina, a fuel briquette press machine, to transform the foliage of Miscanthus Giganteus into fuel briquettes. I think that these briquettes must be able to replace advantageously the wood for cooking and limit so wooden cups and deforestation.
Do you help me in this research.
Thanck you for your help
Best regards
