Description:

This handbook draws on the vast experience of the Biomass Energy Section of the Natural Resources Institute to provide a practical guide to charcoal production and technology.
The book provides an explanation of different methods of charcoal manufacture both large and small scale; it has details of a wide range of kilns of both modern and traditional design; and information on the most effective uses for charcoal and its by-products. The handbook also examines techniques for analysing charcoal and its raw materials to facilitate product control and standardisation.

The handbook, which has a strong technical content, includes an extensive index and bibliography. It will be of interest to all potential users of the technology, analysts, researchers and extension workers.
