This month, Clean Cooking Fuel for Refugees received approval to connect to a nearby hydroelectric dam for a stable source of renewable energy!

The August update from Clean Cooking Fuel for Refugees is here. Read on to learn more about pandemic adaptations and project milestones

This month, we received a letter from Peter Nyeko, the project lead behind Clean Cooking Fuel for Refugees. We're going to let him do the talking for this update.

Over the past couple months, the briquette facility in Uganda has been operating for 4 hours a day, successfully producing clean burning briquettes from agricultural waste. But in the past couple weeks, COVID-19 has hit Uganda and resulted in a temporary change of plans.

Since our last update, four briquette-making machines have begun operating in the new warehouse facility

In October, final repairs for the briquette machines were completed and five contracts were signed with mills in Olwiyo, Uganda, to supply the agricultural waste necessary for the machines

August was a pivotal month for our Clean cooking fuel for refugees project! The team of engineers and scientists behind the project successfully produced the first batch of clean briquettes, but not without a few bumps in the road
