The Project aims to introduce energy-efficient charcoal technologies in Angola and trigger market demand for certified, sustainable charcoal. Energy-efficient charcoal kilns, briquetting machines and efficient stoves will be transferred to rural and peri-urban beneficiaries, thereby adding value along the chain while creating opportunities for income and job creation.

The overall goals of this project are to: 1) Information and strengthening of the policy framework for sustainable charcoal; 2) Transfer of sustainable charcoal technology to agents along the charcoal value chain; and 3) Strengthening of human capacities and institutions.
