Dear Joseph,

To be honest, I know nothing about coffee husks but if they are like rice 
hulls then I think they could be gasified. Once gasified this gas could 
provide process heat for the factories and possibly generate electricity. 
Furthermore the possibility of co-producing charcoal for soil enrichment.



Best wishes,
