Protecting forests with maize briquettes | DW English 

Sustainable engineering

We have this town business where there is a machine that extracts dried corn from its cobs, all the corn will be collected and sold but the cobs are left behind and thrown in the lake because we don't know what to do with them. This causes water pollution and affects the current of the lake. So, thank you for this idea.

Is that a special kind of carbonizer or can any other type work?

Am interested in the process of converting maize cobs into briquettes.

Great idea

I wonder how much charcoal production could come from means like this.

mr Schmidt.Why dont you use water hyacinth to make charcoal briquettes?

Do you have any contact no. from Engineer Albrecht Schmidt.Corn cobs here in our place are only gone to waste when the corn harvesting is done.
