A promotional video for Legacy Foundation's fuel briquette technology. Fuel Briquettes are an environmental technology that act as a replacement for firewood in the third world. They are not only environmentally sustainable but also provide a much needed income. See www.legacyfound.org for more information

Briquette Production at the Grady Grossman School, Cambodia. In January 2008 Sanu Kaji Shrestha of FoST in Nepal trained the local villagers of Chrauk Tiek, Cambodia how to produce biomass briquettes from waste materials such as saw dust, rice husk, rice straw, leaves, coconut husks and scrap paper. Over 40 villagers were trained and a production facility was established. Now 19 workers (17 women) produce 4 tons of "Smart Choice Fuel" per month. A more permanent facility is being built. Sales of this alternative cooking fuel is brisk—selling all the villagers can produce. Net profits from sales go to support education at the Grady Grossman School. This method of sustainable development is the work of Sustainable Schools International. To learn more visit: http://www.SustainableSchoolsInternat...

Nishant Bioenergy, a small business in Chandigarh, has developed the Sanjha Chulha (combined stove) - a large stove for institutional-scale cooking, which uses briquettes made from crop waste as fuel. Each stove can provide meals for up to 650 people, and thirteen stoves are now in use in residential schools in India, with more on order.

Demonstration of making fuel briquettes with a newly designed Peterson Press. This is appropriate technology for developing countries to use agricultural waste for cooking fuel as an alternative to deforestation caused by using wood or charcoal.
