520			_aLarge quantities of rubberwood residues in the form of tops, loops and branches are generated from land clearance and replanting of rubber trees. A major portion of these residues is either burnt or left to rot in the field because it is uneconomical to transport these low value materials over long distances for economic utilisation. The rubberwood charcoal industry generates between 6000-9000 tonnes of rubberwood charcoal fines annually. These fines pose a serious disposal problem for the industry. This paper gives an assessment of the potential of converting rubberwood residues into charcoal by the use of the transportable metal kiln and the technology of briquetting rubberwood charcoal fines. The successful adoption of these two technologies will ensure the better utilisation of the rubberwood resource in the country.
