This newsletter highlights innovative and sustainable approaches to charcoal production in the Kasigau Project Area, Kenya. It documents the eco-charcoal production process, which replaces traditional tree-felling with pruning and carbonizing finger-sized branches, significantly reducing deforestation. The process from harvesting to carbonization and briquette production demonstrates how rural communities can adopt cleaner cooking fuels while regenerating vegetation cover. The publication also emphasizes the economic, environmental, and social benefits of eco-charcoal, including job creation, cleaner energy adoption, and women’s participation in production. Recommendations include scaling awareness programs, integrating eco-charcoal into national policies, and improving market access through modern equipment and supportive regulation.
