Abstract
It all started on the Island of Príncipe, in the small African Republic of São Tomé e Príncipe where cooking is mostly done on an open fire where chopped down firewood is regularly burned. This constant harvesting of firewood is gradually contributing to deforestation and puts a heavy work burden on women and children. The Island needed a different solution. The solution could be in the use of fuel briquettes instead of firewood.
