Solid biomass, natural resources management, energy efficiency

The Kasama Fix mobile retort is an innovation for more efficient charcoal production, and the making of biochar. The charcoal yield is similar to large scale stationary retorts, ie requiring 2.8-3.5 units of wood for 1 unit of charcoal. The fixed carbon content rendered averages at 75-80%, varying only due to ash content. The Kasama Fix method is an almost smokeless process, benefiting the health of its operators and the environment.
