SOURCES OF BIOMASS FOR BIOCHAR

PROSOPIS JULIFLORA AS MAIN SOURCE

PROSOPIS JULIFLORA - CAUSE AND USE
SEMI-ARID ENVRIONMENT
Decrease in rainfall
High temperatures
Climate change / variability
Increase in intensity of cultivation
-Energy Needs
-Charcoal Making
- Wood for agricultural implements / funiture
-Pods / leaves as livestock feed
Groundwater use
Contribution of salts
-Use of complex fertilizers
-Surfacing of natural salts from deep inside the ground through groundwater
+
ALKALINE SOILS
Fallow lands
Poor germination,
Non-availability of soil minerals
Decrease in yield
Suitable for growth of ProsopisJuliflora

GSBC PROJECT
INTEGRATED APPROACH

GOOD STOVES AND BIOCHAR COMMUNITIES PROJECT
GSBC PROJECT, being implemented in parts of Andhra Pradesh State is an integrated project.
This project started in May 2009, Geoecology Energy Organisation is responsible for planning, implementation and monitoring of the project. The “Alternative Carbone Project” portfolio of Action Carbone has promoted this project to be implemented in the rural areas of the state of Andhra Pradesh, India.
