FoST - briquette making workshop in Fulbari Resort & Spa in Pokhara
HERE ARE SOME UPDATES FROM FoST
FoST has successfully organized a 3-day briquette making workshop in Fulbari Resort & Spa in Pokhara. They trained 20 Fulbari staff. They produced about 350 kg briquettes of different types (7 types) from the raw materials available in the hotel complex. They need to cook two meals a day for the 300 hotel staff and boil about 5000 liters of water for supplying hot water in the rooms. They need 5 gas cylinders (14 kg per cylinder) per day which costs about US$ 85 (a lot of money for Nepalese standards).
Their target is to reduce the gas consumption in the staff kitchen, then boiling of water, steaming, camp fires, spa etc. by using the briquettes. There are a lot of opportunities to reduce gas consumption.
During the workshop, Sanu Kaji Shrestha - founder of FoST, invited reporters/journalists from the local papers, TVs and FMs. About 15 representatives attended the workshop. Among them, local papers; JANAMAT, POKHARA HOTLINE, POKHARA AAWAJ have highlighted the news on front cover on April 24th and Kantipur TV on April 25th.
The title of the news in the papers are: "Hotel Fulbari introduces briquettes to replace LP gas", "Fuel production from the waste materials for cooking" and "Briquette making training from waste materials for cooking".
Sanu believes that the people in Pokhara have realized the necessity of the alternative fuel back up from their own wastes. Fulbari Resort & Spa have already received enquiries from different circles including hotels and Casino.
They also invited local leaders from neighboring villages and women groups outside of the hotel as observers.

This is the small steps for great change. The five star hotels like Fulbari Resorts turned towards reducing LP Gas by utilising their own waste resources.
Nepal should promote this technology to reduce the dependency in fossil fuels.
