Project Summary / Description:

The project aims at  modernization  and expansion of the  production units to increase the production of the smokeless long burning biomass briquettes .
Mass use of biomass briquettes will :
1. help to reduce  	Annual Average (Tree Loss) by  Approximately 230 kt CO₂e/year.
2. reduce inhouse air pollution of over 1200 households by 80 percent
3. decrease associated respiratory  health risks especially of women  by 85 percent

How Project Affects Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Emissions:

['Replaces/avoids GHGs (e.g., projects that replace sources of GHGs, such as the burning of fossil fuels for electricity, heat, transport, or other energy uses)', 'Reduces GHGs (e.g., projects that reduce sources of GHGs, such as through efficiency or other changes in consumption)']

Impact on Underrepresented Groups:

We carry out radio and TV talk shows on dangers of using charcoal and fire woods

Mission Statement:

Margharita Organic Farmers Association is a  not profit organization that promotes organic farming  practices and produces , on very small scale, biomass briquettes to reduce carbon emissions and inhouse pollution.
