CHARCOAL BRIQUETTES: ALTERNATIVE FUELS FOR COOKING
Charcoal has always been the primary fuel for cooking in Haiti because it's cheaper, burns cleanly and easy to find. As the price of kerosene and propane gas tank is higher 90% of homes depend traditionally on charcoal while others exploit wood, thus leaving the country with a little less than 3% of its forest. Given that issue, which has left Haiti lacking of wood supplies, some engineers were able to create a charcoal that could be produced easily, cost-effective and plentiful in Haiti.
