Season greetings to everyone especially the readers of Nigeria Kicker Online Newspaper, where ever you are both in Nigeria and in diaspora .
Today, I want to talk about one of the cheapest abundant and abandoned Natural resources that we commonize in Nigeria without people knowing it’s significance and highly demandable in international market .
Are you aware that waste charcoal, which is often overlooked in Nigeria, has significant market demand and high value in international trade?
Waste charcoal has several important uses and benefits in the international market. Waste charcoal can be processed into activated charcoal, used in air and water filtration systems. Activated charcoal has numerous applications and is in high demand globally for industrial and domestic use.
Similarly, abundant resources in Nigeria are often underutilized.
Waste charcoal can also be processed into biochar, a type of charcoal used to improve soil fertility and carbon sequestration. Biochar is in high demand internationally for agricultural and environmental applications.
In terms of energy production, waste charcoal can serve as a renewable energy source for heating and cooking, particularly in developing countries with limited electricity access.
Considering soil improvement, adding waste charcoal to soil can enhance fertility and water retention due to its high carbon and mineral content. Fundamentally, waste charcoal can adsorb and filter air impurities, making it useful for air purification and pollution control, as well as water filtration and poultry farm fumigation.
Charcoal has several uses in poultry farming.
Here are some of the benefits:
1. Odor control: Charcoal helps absorb and neutralize unpleasant odors from poultry droppings.
2. Moisture control: Charcoal can absorb excess moisture, reducing the risk of disease and keeping the coop dry.
3. Ammonia reduction: Charcoal can help reduce ammonia levels, which can be harmful to birds.
4. Pest control: Charcoal can repel pests like mites, lice, and flies.
5. Detoxification: Some farmers believe charcoal has detoxifying properties, which can help keep birds healthy.
6. Temperature regulation: Charcoal can help regulate temperature in the coop by absorbing heat during the day and releasing it at night.
These benefits can contribute to a healthier environment for poultry, reducing stress and promoting growth.
