About us

 

UPCHAIN – Unlocking the potential of Green Charcoal Innovations to Mitigate Climate Change in Northern Uganda – is a multi-disciplinary Gulu University research project in the production and use of cleaner and greener energy.

The project primarily focuses on producing and using briquettes (green charcoal) from agricultural residues as an alternative to firewood and black charcoal.

Green charcoal should contribute to stopping deforestation, reduce smoke-induced health issues as well as create local employment.
