EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Biomass, an energy-producing source, is used principally in the form of firewood and charcoal. Currently, biomass provides about 93% of Ugandas consumed energy source as firewood and charcoal. Although Uganda is an agricultural country with vast amounts of forests and trees, at the present time, the majority of its agricultural waste is not being fully utilized for the production of energy. Our failure to transform Ugandas natural agricultural wastes into charcoal briquettes has resulted in an increased exploitation of Ugandas primary forests. The briquettes will be made out of charcoal-dust and dry agricultural wastes, sugar cane trash, and maize trash from farmers. Simple technologies will be implemented to make it less expensive to produce briquettes. Thus, the briquettes will be affordable by the local population. The manufactured briquettes will be sold through selected charcoal vendor markets around Kampala and the vendors will sell them to the end users. The changeover from woodcharcoal to briquettes requires no behavioral change nor a need to modify the stoves currently used. Briquettes have a high bulk density compared to fire wood and loose biomass. Because of their density and low moisture content, the briquettes give a longer burning time which will translate to cost savings for the customer. Flyers and posters will be used as educational tool. They will be distributed to the selected vendors who will hand them out to clients as they buy the briquettes. According to Uganda Bureau of Statistics (2003), the total production of charcoal in Uganda in 2001 was 586,000 tons of charcoal. This means that, theoretically, the briquettes can replace 29% of the charcoal consumed. Natural Uganda Ltd, a company limited by liability, will be registered through the Registrar General in Kampala. It is expected that 720 tons of briquettes will be produced during the first year of operation, which is an average of 2.4 tons of briquettes per day. A kilogram of briquettes will be sold at 31 cents, thus generating sales revenue of $220,000 USD at the end of the first year. An initial investment cost of $174,354 is needed. This will be used to purchase machinery land and meet the annual costs of production. Inquiries of applying for a business start up loan have been made at Standard Chartered Bank. The project will have a positive impact on developmental, it will aid in the preservation of Ugandas endangered biodiversity, as well as providing economic support to rural and urban communities and help lower carbon house gas emissions. Today, 28.8 million people in the country use fire wood and wood charcoal for their cooking needs, this population is a sizeable market for charcoal briquettes.

THE BUSINESS
Source: Uganda Investment Authority In agriculture-based countries like Uganda, there is a vast natural supply of biomass found in the form of agro and forest residues. Often these residues are simply burned in the fields. This is not only an unfortunate waste of an energy source, but it is also a cause for increased polllution in local regions. Ugandas failure to transform her natural agricultural wastes into charcoal briquettes has resulted in an increased exploitation of Ugandas primary forests. Ugandas failure to plan for ways to sustain its logging industry, has resulted in forests that are currently being depleted with no plans for replacement. This ravaging of our forests is causing an even greater shortage of the woody biomass necessary for making firewood and charcoal. This results in the rural population having to spend increased time and effort in collecting biomass for their cooking energy needs. Natural Uganda, Ltd. will convert the natural and available agro waste currently being burned, into a useful fuel that can go a long way in alleviating Ugandas energy problems and increasing the availability of sustainable cooking fuel for consumers. There are currently only a handful of briquette producers in Uganda and availability of the briquettes is no where near mainstream. Part of my business aim is to get ahead of the market, being one of the first Uganda briquette produces to sell to a large cross section of the domestic market. This more also pre-empts a shift towards more sustainable fuels that Uganda, in the future will be forces to adopt.

1.2 Product
The briquettes will be made out of charcoal-dust, dry agricultural wastes, sugar cane trash, and maize trash from farmers. Trash is defined as fibrous material left in the field after harvesting. The trash is burned in a carbonizing unit to form charcoal. The charcoal is then mixed, molded, and dried. Finally, the charcoal briquettes are packaged in various quantities suitable for sale to both commercial and domestic buyers.
General Characteristics of the carbonized Briquettes Moisture Content: 7.1% - 7.8% Volatile Matter: 13.0% - 13.5% Fixed Carbon: 81.0% - 83.0% Ash: 3.7% - 7.7% Heating Value: 7,100 - 7,300 kcal/kg Density: 970kg/m3 Advantages of the Briquettes Briquettes burn without any smoke during ignition and burning. Minimum residual ash is formed (less than 5% of the original weight of the charcoal). The concentration of fixed carbons will be about 82%. The calorific value of charcoal briquettes is 7500 Kcal/KG. Briquettes contains minimum evaporative substances, thus eliminating the possibility of odour. Briquettes burn twice as long as hardwood charcoal due to fewer cracksand increased strength. Briquettes do not produce sparks as do the hardwood charcoal. Briquettes can be made in a uniform size and shape. Briquettes are dust free. Natural Uganda, Ltd.s charcoal briquette will be made utilizing simple technology. This will assure a product that is not only inexpensive and affordable to its customers, but also of good quality. Customers will want to tell others about them.

1.3.1
Ugandas national development objective is an accelerated, economic growth through increased productivity and enhanced agricultural and industrial production which will result in increasing employment opportunities, an equitable distribution of income, and a reduction of poverty. The realization of this objective requires, amongst others, that quality energy services be made available to people in a sustainable, cost-effective, and affordable manner. In Uganda, wood Kamuli, Luweero Wakiso, Jinja and and urban centres charcoal is supplied by charcoal dealers from Nakasongola, Kayunga, and Masindi districts to semi-urban and urban centres of Kampala, Mukono districts. 1 The charcoal is sold through vendors in semi-urban who sell the charcoal to households, restraurant and hotels.

I will select ten wood charcoal vendors in Owino, Nakawa, Banda, Kibuye, Kamwokya, Kalerwe, and Namasuba; these are all markets around Kampala. They will be asked to try my briquettes. The selected charcoal vendors will then sell the briquettes to households, chapati businesses, restaurants, and hotels. The changeover from wood charcoal to briquettes requires little behavioral change. This is because there is a direct substitution of wood charcoal to briquettes which eliminates the need to modify the stoves. Target markets are; Households, chapati businesses, restaurants, and hotels in urban centres. These are the highest consumers of charcoal. Natural Uganda, Ltd. also intends to approach tourist lodges in the national parks because they are very keen to see an alternative to wood charcoal, especially the JGI (Jane Goodall Institute), Wild Fronties, Ndali Lodge (Fort Portal), Mihingo Lodge (Lake Mburo), and those lodges adjacent to Bwindi and Budongo. Future opportunities exist, especially if the Government and local authorities decide to enforce the restriction on cutting down trees. 1.3.2 Market size and potential Ugandas population is estimated at 31 million people and is growing at a rate of 3.5% per year. Of Uganda's population, 28.8 million people use firewood and charcoal as a fuel for cooking. This is a sizable market for charcoal briquettes. Table 1, shows household energy consumption. Electricty was consumed by a small percentage who uses it for lighting purposes. The majoring of households used firewood and charcoal for cooking. Table 1: Household Energy Consumption

Firewood and charcoal consumption in Uganda, is shown in table 2. Table 2: Consumption of Firewood and Charcoal in Uganda
Source: UBOS2, 2003 Table 2, shows the biomass residential consumption of Uganda. Kampala district consumed 245,000 tons of charcoal in 2003. The demand for charcoal is expected to increase because of increasing population. Wood charcoal production, on the other hand, is slowly decreasing because trees are being depleted. Therefore, manufactured briquettes are an alternative to wood charcoal. 1.3.3 Competitor analysis My main business competitors in the charcoal business are the charcoal dealers. These are the individuals who buy the wood charcoal from various charcoal supply areas. They transport the wood charcoal by trucks to urban and semi-urban centres. In 2003, over 697,000 tons of charcoal were supplied across Uganda. (See table 2). Kampala Jellitone Suppliers Ltd, a local company in Natete, is currently producing compressed briquettes that are made from coffee husks and saw-dust. The company started the production of non-carbonised briquettes in Uganda, this was initiative by the company. Non-carbonised briquettes burn slowly and produce smoke which leaves soot of cooking pots3 while carbonised briquettes burn slowly without producing smoke. The company has targeted large institutions like schools and hospitals. The company says the demand for briquettes is increasing in schools. (Refer to Annex 4.4). Although wood fuel is the least expensive, its soot blackens the cooking utensils and the given off smoke is a serious health risk. Electricity, gas, and kerosene costs are too high to be used daily as a cooking fuel for the majority of Ugandans. Charcoal offers a high level of convenience and cleaniliness at an affordable price and briquettes made from waste can be sold at an enver cheaper price than conventional charcoal. Household energy costs are shown in the table below, two households incomes were considered, that is the high income (HI) household and middle income (MI) household. Table 3: Different energy costs

One kilogram of wood charcoal was sold at 39 cents, firewood went for 11 cents and briquettes will be sold at 31 cents. 1.3.4 Competitive advantage Briquettes have a high bulk density compared to fire wood and loose biomass. Because of their density and low moisture content, the briquettes give a longer burning time which will translate to cost savings for the customer. The cost of cooking fuel is one of the most important factors in determining which fuel to use. In Uganda, people are looking for the cleanest, the most convenient, and the most affordable cooking fuel. Briquettes have additional benefits, incuding reduction on deforestation and carbon emissions. In Uganda, wood charcoal cost prices range from $12.78 to $16.67 per bag of 35kgs. This means that every kg of wood charcoal costs is in range of $0.37 to $0.45 4. An average Ugandan household consumes from 42 to 56 kg of wood charcoal per month, at a cost of about $16.89 to $22.47. By using Natural Uganda Ltd briquettes, a family will spend between $13.02 and $17.36 on briquettes per month for the same quantity of wood charcoal used. What does this mean in term of saving? If a household used 42 kg of briquettes in a month, they will be able to save $3.87.

As part of the initial training and promotional/awareness raising, each vendor will be given a 10 kg pack of briquettes and a stove for trial purposes. This will allow them to demonstrate charcoal briquettes to their wood-charcoal clientele . All feedbacks will be documentated. 1.4.3 Sales There will be an initial production of 720 tons of briquettes during the first year of operation. This will average 2.4 tons of briquettes per day. A kilogram of briquettes will be sold at 31 cents and generate sales revenue of $220,000. Production during the second year of operation will increase by 15% to a level of 828 tons of briquettes. In order to meet the increased production limit that year, working hours will be increased. As the market focus is extended around Kampala, the company will realize $253,000 of sales revenue during the second year. In the third year of operation, the project will produce 936 tons of briquettes a production increase of 30% with sales revenue of $285,389. In 2011, I intend to extend my business to incorporate more outlets using existing charcoal vendors and supplying to the tourism and the hospitality industry. My target is to sell 490,000 tons of briquettes for 2015. This represents two percent of the entire charcoal consumption of Kampala. Table 4, shows the briquette sales revenue of the first three years of operation, as extracted from the budget spreadsheet. Table 4: Revenue

Assumption for the supply of raw material is 1,986 tons in the first year; Dry agro-waste 1,698 tons Charcoal dust 288 tons According to the Uganda Bureau of Statistics (2003), the total production of charcoal in Uganda in 2001 was 586 000 tons, which means that theoretically, the briquettes from bagasse can replace 29% of the charcoal produced in 2001. Supply agreements will be secured from Jinja based Kakira Sugar Works Ltd and Sugar Corporation of Uganda Ltd, to supply 28,800 tons of bagasse. This is 6.37% of the wasted bagasse. Charcoal dust will be supplied by the charcoal traders. Since charcoal dust is regarded as a waste, they will be glad to sell from the waste. In the future, maize cob will be used in order to lower the use of charcoal dust.

Appropriate Rural Technology Institute (ARTI). At the course, I learned all stages of the briquett- making process andI returned to Uganda with the design of a simple, efficient, and cost effective carbonizing unit. ARTI has done much work on researching the technology, finding ways of sensitizing peopl, and marketing the product. These are lessons which I can easily apply in Uganda. I intend to extend my business to incorporate more outlets using existing charcoal vendors and supplying to the tourism and the hospitality industry. My target is to sell 490,000 tons of briquettes for 2015. This represents two percent of the entire charcoal consumption of Kampala. 1.7.2 Management team The company will be headed by the CEO who will oversee the entire activities of the company. Three departments will be created, these are;
Marketing, sales, demand and supplyHuman resource and finance Production and quality assurance
I will be the CEO and the production manager of Natural Uganda Ltd, reports from the two departments will be submitted to my office regularly. Production manager will be in charge of the production and quality control of briquettes made, see annex 4.3.1. Human resource and finance department managers should have the following skills; Interview skills Good communication skills and conflict management Employee document Accountating, computer skills are an advantages
Molly Naboosa, female will be in charge of finance and human resource department; see annex 4.3.2. Marketing, sales, demand and supply manager should have the following skills; Team-driven with ability to empower team members Good record of implementing sales strategies Ability to exceed revenue targets Experience in marketing, from concept through development and marketing strategy implementation A good personality, professional conduct, articulate, good communication skills and a quick learner Kiswahili language is an added advantage
Isaac Ssebyala will be my marketing, demand and supply manager, (see annex 4.3.3). 1.7.3 Partners and sponsors Currently, I have got partners who will raise $ 8,000, they will be harmonised by having shares into the business which will earn them dividends at the end of the third year. However, from my background research on possible briquette markets and funding, I intend to look closely at the viability of incorporating my business under the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) for Uganda. I am already in discussion with the Kampala based Uganda Carbon Bureau on this issue.
