WHY HAITI MUST CHANGE TO THE USE OF BRIQUETTES A carbon credit (often called a carbon offset) is a financial instrument that represents a tonne of CO2 (carbon dioxide) or CO2e (carbon dioxide equivalent gases) removed or reduced from the atmosphere from an emission reduction project, which can be used, by governments, industry or private individuals to offset damaging carbon emissions that they are generating. Haiti being a member and signature of the Kyioto protocol is entitle to the benefits and the sales of carbon credit. Briquettes manufactured in Haiti with biomass and garbage fall under the protocol. As an example, the 50,000 tons of garbage in Titenyen can produce 20,000 tons of briquettes. One ton of charcoal briquettes is equivalent to 3.6 tons of carbone dioxide thus 20,000 tons of charcoal briquettes will produce 72,000 tons of carbon monoxide. At the cost of around $ 4.00 per ton of carbon dioxide, the garbage of Tytenyen can generate $ 288,000 yearly in carbon credit. Just imagine if Haiti is producing charcoal briquettes from every corner of the country, more than $ 2,000,000.00 millions dollars is what Haiti fatras is worth and add to it the benefits of not cutting no more trees and a green Haiti with 100,000 new jobs in that sector alone and being energy independent, plus de fuite de devise mais des rentrees de devise et finalement le reboisemnet en Haiti deviant rentable. People of Haiti, I put forward to you everything, now it is your turn to walk with me, Government, private citizens, communities, businesses in another words all of us together for a better Haiti.
