    Notes
    A new fuel for cooking and heating, which at FCFA 50/kg is cheaper than firewood, is coming onto the market in Burkina Faso. Briquettes of compressed agricultural waste (straw and cotton stems) are shaped into cylinders 7cm in diameter; they are easier to cut than wood, but they provide same amounts of heat. The new product was developed to ease the pressure on the nation s woodlands (more than 5 million tonnes of wood are used annually as fuelwood, the equivalent of 140,000 hectares of forest). A pilot project has been started at a plant in Boromo (150 km west of Ouagadougou) with finance from UNDP and Denmark. In operation since May 1999, its annual production (currently 200 t) could rise to 2,000 or 4, 000 tonnes of briquettes. Eric Lacasse, UNDP, B P 575 Ouagadougou 01, Burkina Faso.
