Production of briquette from water hyacinth in Guatemala

Credit: Manuel Cano Alfaro (Guatemala) This photo shows the utilization of water hyacinth (Eichornia crassipes) as a briquette. The caloric merit of the produced briquette (5048 cal/g) has been found high enough to justify its replacing to firewood. In order to produce this briquette, water hyacinth is milled and compacted under pressure.
