An energy-self-sufficient pelleting plant produces our BioPellets from the abundant Miscanthus grass using the power of the sun.
In safe and effective cookers, the pellets carbonize into a highly productive fertilizer while people prepare their meals.
The coal stores water and enriches the eroded soils with minerals.
The fertile soils increase the production of food and energy-usable biomass.
Madagascar: 1st pellet factory
Developed cooker models are AJPER manufactured and distributed centrally in Fianarantsoa. Furthermore, the rural population in structurally weak villages, supported by the WP Schmitz Foundation, education and tools to produce efficient cookers independently from local resources.
The self-sufficient energy supply, consisting of 60 photovoltaic modules and a battery storage system, which is partly HOPPECKE Batteries donated, enables independent pellet production in the remote southwest of Madagascar.
With the start of production in April 2024, people from the surrounding communities will bring miscanthus grass and crop residues to the pellet factory, in return for which they will receive pellets as a wood substitute. DELETE The biomass is crushed in the donated hammer mill and automatically fed into the pellet press.
By converting these into biochar in the pyrolysis cookers, they can now use the fertilizer Terra Preta and can use the time saved by eliminating the costly wood harvesting to increase their harvest yields.
