NEW: right! may-be they want to refer that KAHAWA coal might burn 3 
times longer
than wood charcoal due to the ash content of the binder etc.?
Who knows.
I visited KPCU last year and made them a proposal under very cheap 
conditions
to invest in a CCS-lite (Continuous Carbonization System -lite)
However they have only a small budget and unless some money
comes from outside from a donor- nothing might happen?
