PRODUCTION OF COFFEE HUSK BRIQUETTE AND ITS CHARACTERIZATION AS A SOURCE OF HOUSEHOLED ENERGY, A CASE OF DILLA TOWN, SNNPR OF ETHIOPIA
Abstract
Most of the population of Ethiopia, like that of other Sub-Saharan African countries, depends on traditional biomass for cooking and baking food. Most rural people in the country have no access to electricity and the price of fossil fuel is increasing in alarming rate. On the other hand there are large amounts of coffee husks in coffee growing areas which are left unused. In most cases, they are either left in the fields or burning in open air and this causes severe environmental problems.
