Our Clean Charcoal Briquettes Production Project transforms agricultural waste, particularly carbonized coconut shells, into sustainable cooking fuel. The project provides an alternative to conventional charcoal, helping reduce pressure on forests while turning agricultural residues into a valuable energy resource.

My Birthday Tree Organization's Clean Charcoal Briquettes Production Project, implemented in partnership with OISCA Japan, is an environmental and clean energy initiative designed to provide a sustainable alternative to conventional charcoal while addressing the challenges of deforestation, agricultural waste, and access to affordable cooking energy.

The project focuses on transforming agricultural residues, particularly coconut shells, into valuable charcoal briquettes that can be used as an alternative cooking fuel. By giving agricultural waste a productive second life, the project promotes a circular economy approach, turning locally available residues into useful energy while reducing waste and supporting sustainable resource use.

This project contributes to forest conservation by reducing dependence on traditional charcoal and the pressure it places on forest resources. By promoting alternative cooking fuel, the project supports efforts to reduce deforestation, protect ecosystems, and contribute to climate change mitigation.

In addition to its environmental benefits, the project aims to create green livelihood opportunities through the value addition of agricultural waste and the development of local clean-energy enterprises. It demonstrates how environmental challenges can be transformed into opportunities for innovation, employment, and sustainable economic development.

Through our partnership with OISCA Japan, MBTO is working to strengthen this initiative and demonstrate a practical model for clean energy production, waste recovery, forest conservation, and sustainable livelihoods. Ultimately, the project seeks to contribute to healthier communities, protected natural resources, and a more resilient and sustainable future
