Cashew nuts can be used to generate alternative energy fuel for firing bricks and it's eco friendly due to its existence from a natural economic renewable plant source.
About
Raw Cashew nuts shell CNS has been reported to contain over 25% oil when processed and can be used as an alternative biomass energy fuel.Its very much in abundance in Eastern Nigeria as one of the major economic agro produce for exportation. In 2021 the value of Cashew nut shell export was at over 15bilion naira making it one the most source of the country's revenue Cash cow. The potentials of Cashew nut shell bye products includes Biomass fuel for clean energy generation, surface coating, paint production, Vanishes and cooking gas.These products have high local and foreign market demand. Setting up a processing plant in Nigeria for Cashew nuts shell oil will be a major break for alternative energy fuel for firing bricks as Eastern Nigeria harbours it in its natural aboundance as an economic raw material. Most importantly, Nigeria currently doesn't have a processing plant for Cashew nuts shell oil despite the huge aboundance of the cashew nuts plants hence this makes it a big opportunity if a processing plant is sited in Nigeria and government been engage to stop the exportation as to ensure optimization in local process.
