1.4 所述技术的可持续性声明

注释:

The main objective of the technology was to minimize environmental pollution through environmentally friendly production processes, uphold preservation of threatened indigenous species by using invasive Prosopis juliflora as a feed stock thereby reducing its woody biomass as well as controlling its spread. However, it is reported that such extractions of the tree parts for charcoal production purposes enhances coppicing, facilitating further invasion. Although disputed by recent research work, the potentiality of control through utilization in managing Prosopis spread is still uncertain. However, there are chances that unless integrated by other management strategies involving active land restorative measures as documented in technologies 3444 and 3455, charcoal production may not sustainably control the spread of Prosopis juliflora.

2. SLM技术的说明

2.1 技术简介

技术定义:

Charcoal production from invasive Prosopis juliflora has several objectives. It has been promoted to control the spread and reduce the abundance of invasive Juliflora while generating income opportunities for poor rural households producing and selling charcoal. Wood pyrolysis is an efficient, environmentally friendly charcoal production technology through indirect heating of wood at high temperatures with the release of water vapor.

2.2 技术的详细说明

说明:

The use of invasive Prosopis wood for charcoal production is intended to control its spread, create space for agricultural or grazing activities and restore degraded land.
Tinder Eco fuels limited is a private company whose aim is to efficiently produce charcoal through modern, environmental friendly techniques using the ‘EURO’ line charcoal kilns. Approximately 60 tons of invasive Prosopis wood are collected weekly, ejecting an estimate of Ksh. 400,000 weekly income to the local community.
Prosopis, the only tree in Baringo permitted for charcoal production is cut by land users and dried for three days to lower its water content before being transported to the production firm. The trees are then weighed and cut into 15 cm lengths, a corresponding dimension of the loading and offloading trolleys. In the carbonizing chambers, the raw materials are subjected to indirect burning and consequent cooling by pyrolysis gas heated at 250 – 500 degree celcius, a process that takes 8-16 hours. Operations in the chambers are controlled and regulated by an assembly of sensors. Ready charcoal is offloaded into a winch which is covered and sealed by a sandy-clay mixture for further cooling to prevent combustion.
Land users prefer this technology to the traditional one as it is more efficient with a guaranteed income from the sale of Prosopis wood. The carbonization process is fine-tuned, minimizing smoke production and the number of point sources of pollution through household-based traditional charcoal production. A steady production process that is resilient to rainy seasons ensures market readiness and reduces price fluctuations. Clearing the land from invasive Prosopis increases the land's economic and ecological value and the provision of mutliple ecosystem services relevant for local people.

详细说明该技术是如何引入的:
  • 通过项目/外部干预
注释(项目类型等):

The technology was established by a private company to transform traditional to a modern environmentally friendly charcoal production technique while advocating for the protection of indigenous tree species threatened by invasive Prosopis.

3. SLM技术的分类

  • 减少、预防、恢复土地退化
  • 保护生态系统
  • 保持/提高生物多样性
  • 减缓气候变化及其影响
  • 创造有益的经济影响

3.2 应用该技术的当前土地利用类型

森林/林地

森林/林地

(半天然)天然森林/林地:
  • 选伐
  • 清除枯木/剪枝
产品和服务:
  • 薪材
注释:

The cleared lands, unless located within the irrigated farmlands where cultivation usually follows, are usually left idle allowing Prosopis to coppice and the harvesting cycle continues.

如果由于技术的实施而导致土地用途发生变化,则在技术实施前说明土地利的用途。:

The challenge with charcoal production from prosopis is that without supporting measures and interventions, prosopis may not be reduced. Therefore it is very important to define a clear goal before implementing the technology. If complete eradication of prosopis is the goal, then charcoal production from prosopis can only be a technology to cover the transition from prosopis to e.g. agriculture or pasture.

3.3 有关土地利用的更多信息

该技术所应用土地的供水:
  • 雨养
具体说明:

Prosopis is an evergreen tree and easily regenerates and becomes invasive without any human intervention. Cutting of stems or uprooting without a restorative measure in place facilitates their ability to coppice and re-germinate due to the resistant nature of their seeds.

3.4 该技术所属的SLM组

  • 天然和半天然森林管理
  • 畜牧业和牧场管理
  • 节能技术

3.5 技术传播

具体说明该技术的分布:

注释:

While charcoal production is most efficiently achieved in a centrally located production facility, the woody material from invasive Prosopis typically originates from heavily invaded areas easily accessible and close to the prodcution facility. The size of the facility's catchment area typically depends on the level of invasion.
