Background Information
In partnership with the IKEA Foundation and UNHCR, FAO is supporting the production activities of the Lopacho Briquetting Production Facility to increase the use of briquettes as an alternative source of energy and reduce overdependence on wood fuel. The plant currently uses Prosopis Juliflora, locally known as ‘mathenge’, and sourced from local communities as feedstock. Prosopis is an invasive species widely available in the area and its use not only provides a sustainable fuel source but also helps to control its expansion. Additionally, once groundnut production increases in the area with IKEA’s support, the plant is expected to fully incorporate groundnut shells as feedstock.
