Baseline

Charcoal production by traditional means consumes unsustainable amounts of wood. It requires 6 tons of wood to make 1 ton of charcoal and the process emit greater amount of methane into the atmosphere which is 21 times higher than CO2 (1 ton of methane =21 tons CO2).

It is these socio-economic challenges which put children and poor women at disadvantage; in particular their health, school-attainment and gender equality and also endanger their environment, future, livelihood and food security in general.
