Shifting from Traditional Open-Pit Method to Mechanize. Charcoal production program in Egypt!

The proposed CDM project aims at reducing methane emissions by controlling the gases generated during the charcoal carbonization process. This is achieved by shifting from traditional charcoal open-pits production to mechanized charcoal production by installing mechanized controlled kilns. The mechanized charcoal kilns involve refueling the carbonization gases, which includes methane, to be combusted as a fuel in the controlled kilns. According to the applicable methodology AMS III-K, other gas utilization and destruction alternatives like flaring and electricity generation are also valid options. About 942 traditional kilns will be replaced by other mechanized ones with expected emission reduction of 400,000t CO2 eq/year.
