TABLE 2: SOME CHARCOAL PRODUCTION COST 1999 (PER TONNE OF CHARCOAL PRODUCED IN EARTHEN KILNS)

a/ From Native Forest Fuelwood From Rubber Tree Fuelwood

a/ Native forest is the distance between 50 - 100 miles from Monrovia in a net truck at $600.00.

b/ Tools refer to materials use during the carbonisation process.

c/ The available place of wood lands under contract between coaler and concessionaire.

a/ The calculated cubic meters of raw wood equivalent to a bag of coal of 20 - 25kg.

NOTE: This was determined at the CBN Sawmill on the Somalia Drive in Gardnesville during the research - May 6 - 27 2000. The

average of four earthen oven was taken after carbonisation.

TABLE 4: LIBERIA WOODFUEL SUPPLY SOURCES

NOTE: a. Wood under this category is obtained from the rubber plantation.

Record taking began when more sawmilling activities resumed after the war for the wood to charcoal transformation process.
