About this project

Through this community-engaging project, the CME aspires to elevate the landscape of waste management located within the vibrant tapestry of Uganda, by producing briquettes (stabilized biomass) using organic solid wastes. The waste encompass saw dust, bagasse, maize cobs, ground nuts, coffee-husks, pine residues etc. constituting a diverse spectrum collected from different source sites for the production of briquettes, embodying a paradigm shift towards sustainable and innovative practices. The project employs the technology in the form of typical mechanical extrusion piston pressing process for the refinement of organic waste into briquettes. The briquettes are used as a renewable fuel source, accessible to local institutions, communities and small-scale industries in the region. The project activity is actively decreasing the release of methane, a potent greenhouse gas, into the atmosphere, from the organic wastes which would otherwise occur if it were left to decay without intervention. The project strives to enhance the waste collection process while concurrently creating valuable employment opportunities for the local community.
