About this project

This project empowers Malawian entrepreneurs to install energy-efficient Vertical Shaft Brick Kilns for the production of high quality clay bricks. The majority of bricks in Malawi is currently fired in traditional clamp kilns fuelled by firewood and charcoal. The Vertical Shaft Brick Kilns implemented through this project significantly improve the energy efficiency of the firing process through better thermal insulation and operate exclusively on sustainable biomass fuels, such as briquettes produced from agricultural waste products.
