Coconut shells
Coconut shells are an important fuel in crop-growing regionsBriquettes made from coconut shells burn longer than wood and can be used in crop-growing countries to replace wood from life-sustaining forests. The material is also suitable for use as a fuel in biomass plants and boiler plants. The fibres in coconut shells have excellent insulating properties and are used to this end.
