These practices differ from traditional methods in the orientation of the grindstone to the prevailing wind, ignition opening opposite to the wind, the positioning of vents, and the stacking of the wood. Improved techniques enable a twofold increase in carbonization yield.

[ForesTIA / ESSA-Forêts @ProjectForestia]

@ESSAForets students received training on eucalypts improved carbonization techniques developed within the DIABE project. This two-day training provided the students with valuable insights and knowledge on the socio-economic issues related to the charcoal and wood energy sector.
